The road to the reconstruction of Hiroshima also can be described as a history of the people who walked together with the baseball team Carp.
The first atomic bomb in human history destroyed the city of Hiroshima. It was said that no plants could grow for 75 years. However, three days after the atomic bombing, a streetcar ran and the local newspaper Chugoku Shinbun started to publish; the people of Hiroshima started to move.
The name of a professional baseball team “Carp” from Hiroshima appeared in the Chugoku Shinbun on September 28, 1949. It was only four years and a month after the atomic bombing.
