Two years after the Hokkaido earthquake 3rd memorial service for those who died in Atsuma Town September 6th 18:57
In Atsuma-cho, where 37 people were killed in the earthquake that seismic intensity 7 was observed in Hokkaido, a memorial service was held to mourn the deceased people.
This three-year memorial service was held jointly by four temples in Atsuma-cho, and about 50 people, including bereaved families and those involved in the temple, attended Sensenji.
At the beginning, the organizer told the attendees, "We must live our lives seriously to the extent of the deceased."
Then, as the priests read the sutras, participants worshiped and put their hands together, mourning the 37 people who died after being caught up in a landslide due to the earthquake.
The joint law of this year is to reduce the number of participants to less than half of last year to avoid crowding at the venue due to the influence of the new coronavirus.
Mr. Tadao Nakamura, who lost his mother to the earthquake, said, "I remember my mother that two years have passed early and there is a legal requirement. I think we must remember that the earthquake happened and raise awareness of disaster prevention." It was.
