Memory of the Great Hanshin Earthquake
Actual size

5:46 a.m. on January 17, 1995 which forgets and is not. That disgusting Great Hanshin Earthquake happened with a sudden roaring sound and a pitch. Since the stricken area had distance directly, I myself had not suffered damage directly, but it was the intense shake which recorded upper 5 on the Japanese intensity scale even in my place. People of the about 6000 name fell victim and took out many disaster victims. In December, 1995, Kobe Luminarie started not as sightseeing but as lamplight of repose of souls.
