No.320 Mischievous kids and neighborhood playmates

This was taken in front of the gunpowder depot that existed in Shirokanedai at the time (close to what is now the Institute of Nature Study). We were told we were forbidden to play there, but it was a place where mischievous kids played. Miss Akutagawa, who supplied this photograph, is standing second from the left at the top (she was in her fifth year of elementary school at this time). She reportedly now has eight great-grandchildren.
