Take the Oedo Line Tsukiji Market Station toward Hamarikyu, and you will find a "tuna monument" in front of the intersection.
I read the inscription.
A hydrogen bomb test was conducted at Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific on March 1, 1954.
Then, some of the tuna caught from the exposed "No. 5 Fukuryu Maru" arrived at the market, and a Tokyo inspection revealed radioactive contamination.
The contaminated fish (sharks, tuna) were buried in this corner.
Nearly 460 tons of contaminated fish were found in more than 850 fishing boats nationwide, and it was written that market officials and fishery officials were also hit hard, such as panic throughout Japan and no "seri" was established in Tsukiji Market. I am.
It is written that this plate was made with donations (10 yen) from many children from all over the country so that such nuclear damage does not occur.
The date of creation of the plate is March 1, 1999.
It's just a small monument on the back of the intersection.
