Reconstruction of Nagoya Castle: Hope Entrusted To a Reinforced Concrete Castle (Meitai Showa Bunko 1)

A complete record of the revival of Nagoya's unknown symbol!

Nagoya Castle, a national treasure, was burned down in an air raid in 1945.

This book looks back on the entire process of rebuilding the castle tower, which was accomplished in 1951 thanks to the passion of local residents, through 150 precious photographs.

In October 2008, the Nagoya Times evening newspaper came to an end after 62 years of publication. The remaining photographs and articles are a valuable asset that vividly records Nagoya's postwar history.

This book is the first in the "Meitai Showa Bunko" project, which compiles books of Nagoya records left behind by local residents.
