Hiroshima City Folk Museum (A-bombed building)

In 1897 (Meiji 30), the Ujina Branch of the Army Provisions Depot was established. A provision depot is a facility that procures, manufactures, stores, and distributes food for soldiers and feed for military horses. It was later renamed the Army Provisions Depot Ujina Branch, and in 1911, a brick cannery was built on the west side of Ujina Miyuki Street. On August 6, 1945 (Showa 20), the atomic bomb was dropped 3.21 kilometers from the hypocenter. At the time, there were few employees due to reassignments and evacuation, so human casualties were minor, but the blast was powerful enough to bend the steel beams. In 1985, it opened as a local history museum. Part of the steel beams that were bent by the blast are currently preserved in the upper part of the entrance hall.
