Cenotaph for Hiroshima City Commerce and Shipbuilding Industry School

Date of construction: August 6, 1963 At the time of the bombing, 195 first-year students and 5 staff members of the Municipal Shipbuilding Technical School were working on building evacuation near Zaimokucho Seiganji Temple, 500 meters from the hypocenter, and all died except for one student who felt unwell while working and went to the hospital. As it was close to the hypocenter, most of the remains were unknown, and only a few lunch boxes and burnt clothing were found on the ground. The total number of casualties from the atomic bomb reached 270, including those who were mobilized elsewhere and those on their way to school.
