EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the Tokyo earthquake of 1923. In a railway shelter at Numadzu Station, men, women, and children are huddled together in a carriage on a siding for the night. The catastrophic earthquake struck at midday on September 1st, catching many people off guard as they were preparing their meals.
The impact was immense, with fires spreading rapidly and destroying everything in their path. The death toll climbed to over 70,000 lives lost, leaving countless more homeless and displaced. This image serves as a stark reminder of the sheer scale of destruction caused by natural disasters and the resilience shown by those who survived.
As we look back on this tragic event from nearly a century ago, it is important to remember the lives that were lost and honor the strength of those who endured such hardship. It is through images like these that we can gain a deeper understanding of history and ensure that such tragedies are never forgotten or repeated.
