Kobe three months after an earthquake disaster
Actual size

Entering in April, I decided to go to see the situation of the stricken area in Kobe where it was working once, together with a friend. Then, what was seen was too severer reality than imagination. Nothing of the circumference of a station in subway Nagata where I commuted once was lost splendidly. The building of the station north side collapsed on the slanting other side, the shop selling yakitori, pachinko parlor, and shopping center which the circumference of a station is good and were performed were burned down splendidly [ a thing ], and the figure and the image of them were completely lost. The Minatogawa interchange often used at work collapses, and does not have marks, either, and the riverside building inclined to one of the two, and has broken down from the Minatogawa neighborhood like the domino effect. Although it had become a vacant lot considerably around Nagata, a newly built building etc. is not many.
