Description | Japanese Sword Donated by Muneharu Iwami 750 m from the hypocenter; Shinsenba-cho (now, Ko-machi) Masaomi Inoue and his wife were exposed in their home. His wife was trapped under the house and burned to death. Masaomi was severely burned and died on August 15. Hisafumi Iwami, Masaomi’s brother, dug this sword out of the ruins of Masaomi’s house along with the remains of his wife. He took it home and preserved it carefully. |
