27. Koami-cho Townspeople Monument
Young ladies,
Treadling sewing machines or
Burnishing shells to support the home front,
Your souls were consumed by the sun dropped from the blue sky.
You must have wanted to work
Not for war but for life.
Explanation
On that day, many people were in Koami-cho, including Koami-cho residents, students and teachers mobilized from in and around the city for building demolition and female service corps volunteers for labor.
This monument is dedicated to all the victims A-bombed there.
