The graveyard of Saikoji Temple at the hypocenter. Despite the rumor that "nothing will grow around the hypocenter for 75 years," eye-catching morning glories vigorously pushed up vines between the gravestones. Hayashi thought that one had bloomed several hours before the photo was taken because the flowers were almost shut.
