Description
Looking from southwest to south at the west end of Kyobashi Bridge. The Hiroshima Higashi (East) Police Station can be seen in the left background, and the area in front of it with a cluster of gravestones is thought to be the burnt ruins of the Kokyoji Temple cemetery. The faintly visible buildings in the right background are probably, from left to right, the Tada Pediatric Clinic and the Chugoku Haiden (now Chugoku Electric Power Company) head office. People, who seem to be searching for their relatives, can be seen on the road.
