Abstract
Description
Raised in Shinmachi, a man recollects the area's close-knit families and sport and river-based activities. He details his family's laundry business and his chores: pressing, dry cleaning, and maintaining the boiler's pressure. He describes awakening on April 1, 1946 in a house surrounded by water and his family's escape to the nearby Coca-Cola concrete building, where they witnessed people swept to their deaths and the destruction of homes and businesses. Also discussed is the tsunami's aftermath, including identification of bodies and relocation of survivors.
