The archives of materials on the "Saburoku Disaster," a landslide and massive river flooding that struck the Ina Valley in 1961, including a collection of essays written by elementary and junior high school students affected by the disaster, along with various materials such as photographs and newspaper articles.

We will pass on to future generations, both within and beyond the Ina Valley area, information resources that convey the wisdom and lessons learned in disaster preparedness, which are at risk of being lost or forgotten.

This is a cooperative project of the Tenryu River Learning Center Kawaranbe, the Upstream Office of the Tenryu River, and the Shinshu University Library.
