Description My school, Otemachi Elementary School, did not reopen, so I transferred to Senda Elementary School. As we had no school building, I listened to my teacher sitting on rocks and rubble in an outdoor classroom. The picture shows the ruins of the Senda Elementary School auditorium from that time. My second-grade self was overwhelmed by the monstrous, warped steel frame.
