Dhashi Area

Toward the end of the Second World War, wooden structures were dismantled in verious areas of the city to prevent the spread of fire from air raids. Volunteer corps including people from neighboring groups and workplaces, and school children from national schools, girls' schools, and old-system junior high schools were mobilized to carry out this work. On the day of the atomic bombing, large numbers of volunteer corps members and approximately 1,800 school children were mobilized inthe Dhashi area (Koami-cho, Nishishin-machi, Sakai-machi) to carry out the 6th stage of dismantling buildings. Most of those participating in this demolition work perished as a result of the first atomic bombing in the history of making.
