Description | Collapsed school building Drawn by Koji Wada Donated by Tsuyako Furushimo Approx. 1,910m from the hypocenter Nishi-kan-on-machi 2-chome (now, Kan-on-hon-machi 2-chome) [Artist's comments] When the flash of light and blast that went on for several seconds suddenly ceased, an incredibly huge cloud of dust blocked the rays of the sun, and it became as dim as night in all directions. What we were able to perceive amidst the darkness was that the three wings of our Second Junior two-story school house had just completely collapsed. |
