Dad bought this turquoise ring during the three months we lived in Tucson, Arizona when I was six, just before he was assigned to Hiroshima. I don't remember him wearing it much on the boat; it was probably too apt to get caught on something or be lost overboard. I think he referred to it as his wedding ring.
When he divorced Mum and married Hiroshima Women's College graduate Akie Nagano, he wore a wedding ring made of metal from an American plane which had been shot down. I didn't like that one.
