[Continued from the previous page — casualties at the Naniwa Spinning Company]
Among those who died on the spot were: Moto Katsu (55), Furukawa Suma (23), Kaihatsu Ko-Haru (26), Toyoura Sei (40), Kitamura Sen (14), Chinno Tomi (44), and others — all of whom met a pitiful, sudden death. There were also many seriously injured, including: Mizutani Yasu, Kurohashi Yuki, Nishimoto Mine, Yamamoto Iyo, Mori Uta, Inoue Matsu, Ōmura Miwa, Nakamura Kiyo, Nagata Sumi, Sakai Teru, Shioda Yoshie, Harada Chiyo, Ōhira Mitsu, Yawata Ishi, and Tanaka Tsuru (all admitted to Osaka Hospital); Tanaka Masa (admitted to Jizendō Hospital); Etchū Yonekichi, Amaya Haru, and Andō Kyūnosuke (admitted to Takayasu Hospital); Miura Ito (admitted to Takahashi Hospital) — these were the most seriously wounded and were each hospitalized accordingly. Beyond these, there were also those who, despite their injuries, somehow managed to flee to their own homes. These individuals were: Akiyama Tsune, Komatsu Koto, Taneshima Nobu, Ichimi Toyo, Ashiwake Kiku, Nakanishi Sumi, Yamamoto Seijirō, Murai Umetarō, Ōno Kiku, Aoki Eitarō, Satō Toki, Fukushima Shikanosuke, Masuda Tome, and several others. Of these, Taneshima Nobu and Masuda Tome are said to have died after returning to their homes. It was truly a most tragic affair.
● The Earthquake in the City of Kyoto In Kyoto, an earthquake struck at around 6:38 a.m. In the Kamigyō Ward area, there were several places where earthen walls had collapsed, and in Nishijin, where a large number of textile workers were present, there was considerable panic for a time. At factories including the Kyoto Textile Company, the Silk Spinning Company, and the Electric Light Company, employees and workers feared their chimneys might collapse and fled to the street; some rushed about shouting warnings such as "Put out the fires quickly!", "It's going to collapse!", and "Fire! Fire!", causing extreme confusion all around. The chimneys of Dōshisha Hospital and its faculty room were also damaged in several places. Several houses had roof tiles that had slid off, and in the area around the temples of Sembon, several old houses had become tilted at an angle. In Dotemachi Marutamachi, one vacant house had collapsed. In district groups 21 and 31, the chimneys of public bathhouses were each damaged in one place. Stone lanterns had toppled at Kitano Shrine and Kumano Shrine, and street lamps had also been knocked over.
Looking at the situation in Shimogyō Ward: at Ōtani-ha Honganji Temple, that day happened to be the memorial day (ennichi) of Kenshin Daishi, the founder of Jōdo Shinshū, and so hundreds of parishioners — men and women, young and old alike — had already crowded into the temporary Daishi Hall from around 5 o'clock in the morning for the morning prayer service known as "o-jinchō mairi." Just then, the building began to creak and sway, and the cry went up: "An earthquake! Everyone outside!" The scene that followed, as the crowd surged out in a wave of confusion, was nothing short of terrifying. Fortunately, however, no one was injured.
Listing the places that were damaged: the eastern earthen wall of Kikoku-tei was destroyed for a length of about four ken; the large iron lantern of Seiganjī Temple on Shin-Kyōgoku; the storehouse of Daizenji Temple on Uradera-machi, below Rokkaku, at Matsugaechō; about four ken of the earthen wall of the Nichiren-sect Ichidō-in below Horikawa Bukōji; the east rear gate and earthen wall of Shōtokuji Temple at No. 10 Bōmonchō, west of Ōmiya on Ayanokōji; the storehouse of Mr. Tanaka Tokujirō in Ōsakachō, south of Karasuma Gojō; and the interior of No. 32 at the 9th block of the Fushimi Kaidō...
