Studying at the Chuo Ward Folk Museum "100 Years of the Great Kanto Earthquake"
Even now, 100 years have passed since the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred in 1923, various disasters continue. Humans cannot control the occurrence of natural disasters, but it may be possible to reduce the impact by preparing them in advance. I'm a civil engineer, but I've been able to think a lot of things these days.
By the way, at the Chuo Ward Folk Museum in "Book Forest Chuou", a special exhibition "100 Years after the Great Kanto Earthquake-Record of Earthquake Reconstruction-" is being held. What I felt particularly valuable when I visited it was the reproduction video of the Tsukiji Honganji film. According to handouts,
"A video taken by a film company's record group dispatched by Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto immediately after the Great Kanto Earthquake."
That's right.
"The Chuo-ku Board of Education has re-edited the film after copying the film and investigating the content of the video, adding the newly recorded video."
That's right. It's a 35-minute video.
The terrible damage, the citizens trying to stand up from it, and the people who support it are depicted, but the most impressive thing was the burning appearance of the fire that caused the most damage in the earthquake It was that videos were shot in various places. I think it would have been really scary, the fire that followed me even if I escaped or escaped.
The seriousness of the earthquake can be known in various literature, but I felt that "Seeing is not at first glance." If a similar disaster occurs in modern times, I think we need to implement social measures to whom and what.
