"She Looks into the Mirror"
Expose it radium,
she said,
to see if the diamond is
real or not.

The synthetic jewel the scientist
Dr. Satoyasu Iimori(Iimori of Imori stone)created after the war. During World War II, Iimori was formerly in charge of
uranium condensation in the ‘Ni (as in Nishina) research’ team
led by Yoshio Nishina for developing the atomic bomb in Japan. Riken Rare Element Industry Co., Ltd. relocated to Ishikawa-machi, Fukushima prefecture where uranium containing ore was produced, from Tokyo, after the city was burnt down from the 1945 air raid. Iimori continued his research there as well.
Although Iimori’ s synthetic jewels had been produced since 1962, importance was put on it being natural instead of how it looked,
so its production was suspended after the early 1990s.
