It was built to commemorate the war dead from the Russo-Japanese War to the Pacific War and the victims of the atomic bomb in the former Hara village.
[Date of erection] August 1967 (Renovated) [Erected by] Volunteers and bereaved families of Hara district residents [History] This monument was erected to commemorate the war dead and atomic bomb victims from the Russo-Japanese War to the Pacific War in the former Hara village (133 people. Of these, 62 were atomic bomb victims, including 37 mobilized students, 7 volunteer corps members, 6 volunteer citizens, 6 military personnel, 5 military personnel, and 1 conscripted worker). The monument was originally erected in November 1932, but in response to the occupation policy, the government announced a policy in 1946 (removal of memorials to the dead at schools and public sites), and the words "Monument to the Dead" were painted over with cement and left as they were. After Japan regained independence, the words were dug up, and during the renovation in 1967, the dead, including those who died in the atomic bombing, were commemorated. The names of the victims are inscribed on the front of the pedestal.
