| Description | Haruzo's wife, Itsue (then, 21), was exposed at home in Zaimoku-cho and trapped under her fallen house. Haruzo headed immediately for his house from his workplace in suburbs but the fire kept him from getting close. It was not until the morning of the 8th that he was finally able to dig out Itsue's ashes and belongings from the burnt ruins. He also saved these lumps of aluminum. |
