Converted into a temporary first aid station, people flocked to
Fukuromachi in search of loved ones. In hope of getting news from their
missing family members, messages of hope were left behind, written in
chalk on the walls. After renovation of Fukuromachi shortly after the war,
these messages were believed to have been lost forever. In 1999 however,
after a section of plaster had pealed away from the wall, these messages
of hope were once again revealed.
