＠Tour of cultural properties "Citizens' Cultural Properties Feel Locally"

This year, just 100 years after the Great Kanto Earthquake

One of the related events that participated from one end.

Prior application required from the ward's website

After a lecture of less than one hour by Yusuke Morita (Researcher at the Reconstruction Memorial Hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Memorial Association)

Actually go to the Great Kanto Earthquake Evacuation Monument and listen to the commentary.

There were only 7 participants, with a capacity of 20 people.

The lecture is also wonderful, and I think it should be more appealing.

Venue: Chuo-ku Sports Center

While all the bridges of the Sumida River are burnt down, they are not damaged.

Shin-ohashi Bridge, which saved many lives

It is a famous story that it was called "Human Assistance Bridge".

So what is the difference from the other four bridges (Eitai Bridge / Ryogoku Bridge / Umaya Bridge / Azuma-bashi Bridge)?

①I dumped refugee's luggage

➁I made refugee sit down to calm down

➂There were a lot of iron parts (from a booklet published by Chuo-ku Folk Museum)

The top part is different from now.

There is an explanation that it may have been deformed because it has been repaired several times.

When I saw this stone monument before,

I was disappointed that it was full of green moss

Residents of Motohashi Hamacho said, "I want to clean the evacuation monument with my own hands."

Two years ago, together with volunteers, they cleaned the monument and its surroundings.
