THE REBIRTH OF A CITY.—Shortly before Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, Tokyo suffered devastating air-raids from United States bombers. Emperor Hirohito, in military uniform and carrying his sword, walked through the wrecked streets to inspect his burnt-out capital. In the top picture he is shown inspecting the shattered city and burnt-out houses, his aides following with bowed heads. The bottom picture shows the same area as it appears today.
