EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures the aftermath of the Great Kanto Earthquake that struck Yokohama, Japan on September 1, 1923. The image shows the remains of the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) Shipping Offices and Jetty, reduced to a shell of their former selves. The earthquake, one of the deadliest natural disasters in Japanese history, devastated Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures of Chiba, Kanagawa, and Shizuoka, causing widespread damage throughout the Kanto region. Estimated casualties totaled about 142,800 deaths, including about 40,000 who went missing and were presumed dead. The ruins of the CPR offices and jetty stand as a testament to the destructive power of nature, with smoke rising from the quay and the once-busy shipping operations now stilled. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, provides a poignant reminder of the devastation wrought by the earthquake and the resilience of the Japanese people in the face of such tragedy.
