1920s Kyobashigawa River
Hiroshima's clean, clear rivers were once playgrounds for its children. Here and there, swimming areas were provided, and even diving platforms were erected in deep spots. As the children's confidence as swimmers grew, they dove not only from those platforms but also from bridges, including streetcar bridges.
