Torrential downpours relentlessly pounded Osaka. The Meiji Hazard memorial stands as a stark reminder of the devastating flood of 1868. The Meiji Hazard memorial, or Meiji-Kibo-Tondabayashi-Chiku-Kasen-Hi in Japanese, commemorates a catastrophic event. Heavy rainfall caused the Tondabayashi embankment to breach. This unleashed a torrent of water upon the unsuspecting populace. The resulting floodwaters engulfed 165 villages. They left a trail of destruction across 5,400 hectares of land. The Meiji Hazard memorial serves not only as a remembrance. It also stands as a testament to the resilience of the people of Osaka. They rebuilt their lives and their city after this tragic event. Nearby, another memorial exists. It marks the repairs undertaken after the flood of 1882. The Meiji Hazard memorial stands in quiet dignity. It prompts us to reflect on the power of nature and the importance of preparedness.
