From near the east entrance of the Hiroshima Prefectural Agricultural Association Hiroshima Branch, looking south (Japan Savings Bank Hiroshima Branch). In the bombing, the Hiroshima Prefectural Agricultural Association's entrance, which had distinctive columns facing Ote-machi Street, and its office collapsed and was scattered. This photo was taken from the entrance, looking south. The former two-story Japan Savings Bank Hiroshima Branch, visible in the center, was destroyed by the blast, leaving only the first floor. Only the vault remained, which helped the bank operate from August 16 in a temporary location within the Bank of Japan. |
