　On the first page of the special feature, photos of the vicinity of Tsukiji seen from the air at the time of the earthquake (September 1923 / owned by the National Diet Library) are posted, and some of the buildings at Nishi Honganji Temple are only a little left, and the surrounding wooden private houses have no trace.

　There is a detailed explanation, which reminds us of the "heart of disaster prevention" that we must not forget this year of the 100th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake.　When visiting, we recommend that you read the photos on the notice, pick up "Tsukiji Honganji Shimpo", and read it.
