Investigate the Great Kanto Earthquake

At 11:58 a.m. on September 1, 1923 (Taisho 12), the Great Kanto Earthquake struck Yokohama. In magnitude, 7.9, the fire that occurred after the earthquake caused further damage.
The day was Saturday, and according to O = M = Poole's "The Devastation of Old Yokohama", "The storm was crazy for a couple of hours before dawn, but my wife and I had three little boys - six-year-old Tony, four-year-old Dick, and David, three-year-old, had a strong breakfast in the greenhouse, and in the morning. The heat of midsummer was still dominant. "At 11:00 am, the temperature rose to nearly 30 degrees Celsius, and the city after the rain was shining with strong sunshine.
If you read this book, you can learn about the hardships of foreigners in the old settlements that were hit by the earthquake.

Here, I would like to introduce some of the materials held by the Municipal Central Library on the Great Kanto Earthquake, a major turning point in Yokohama's history.
Municipal Central Library's Books and Cultures (Municipal Central Library, March 31, 1994), edited by the editorial committee for the opening of the magazine.
