In the Neo Valley [near Itashu, Neodani, after the earthquake]. Photographer: Kusakabe Kimbei
- Scope & Content:
-
'At one place a group of four or five houses has completely sunk into the earth. The ground where they rest has been depressed, for a small distance around them, to a depth of about 15 feet, the sides of the depression being quite abrupt, but the strangest thing of all is that the houses seem to have punched themselves, so to speak, into the ground of this depression, which is soft. Only the roofs are to be seen and, on looking under them, instead of the confused heap of rubbish found under other wrecked houses, there is merely the surface of the ground, the same level inside as out! Those who were in the houses at the time of the Earthquake lie buried in the ground no one knows how deep. No attempt has been made to recover the bodies. The living had to be thought of before the dead.'
