12 years after the Akihabara-dorima incident The flower offering place at the scene was last June 12 at 12:07
Seven people were killed and ten were injured in Akihabara, Tokyo. It's been 12 days and 8 days since the demon incident. There were people who turned the flowers around at the scene, but this is the last time that the monks of the nearby temples have set up a flower offering place every year.
On June 8, 2008, a truck plunged into a pedestrian paradise in Akihabara, Tokyo, crowded with a large number of people, and pedestrians were hit by a pedestrian. I bear it. At that time, the death penalty for Tomohiro Kato (37), who was accused of murder and other crimes at the age of 25, was confirmed.
On the 8th, 12 years after the incident, there were people turning and matching hands at the intersection at the scene. A 27-year-old man from Shizuoka Prefecture said, "The number of people who do not know the time is increasing, but I prayed in the hope that I will remember the tragic event on this day alone". I was talking.
The place for offering flowers was set up every year by a monk at the nearby temple, Taikei Tanabe, but the number of visitors is decreasing year by year and the installation will be the last since the end of the 13th anniversary.
Mr. Tanabe said, "I am very worried that such a tragic event will occur in the midst of the unstable world. Never forget what happened here."
