"The Sense of Duty and Mutual Trust with the Citizens during the Reconstruction of Hiroshima" Hiroshima Bank Archive Room, “Memory Vault Museum”
When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, the former head office of Geibi Bank, the predecessor of Hiroshima Bank, located about 260 meters east of the hypocenter, was instantly charred black. In May 2021, a new building, the third generation built on the same site, was completed. Inside the building is the “Memory Vault Museum,” a historical archive room with materials showing how the bank developed through overcoming hardships together with the people of the region. While touring the archive room, we heard Hirogin Group’s thoughts on Hiroshima.
