Black Rain is a novel by Japanese author Masuji Ibuse. The classic English book about it is Hiroshima by John Hersey, but I felt like I wanted something written by a Japanese person, so here we are with Masuji Ibuse's Black Rain, also a classic.

I would recommend Black Rain to every reader, even the squeamish. MASUJI IBUSE was born in Kamo, Hiroshima Prefecture, in 1898. He majored in French at Waseda University and joined the School of Fine Arts to pursue a serious interest in painting.
