Storefront display

This display is from Amatsu Kyuseido, a store in Nakajima-hon-machi, which sold valuable metals and fountain pens. The store was close to the hypocenter and completely consumed by fire, but the storefront display had been taken to the suburbs for protection. The old Saigokukaido Road (Nakajima Hondori) running through Nakajima-hon-machi pulsed with city life. Movie theaters and cafes drew residents from around the city.
