昭和3年(1928年)

広島市中区本通など
初めの映像は広島県商品陳列所(産業奨励館)。
次の映像は紙屋町交差点を南から望んだもので、交差点内にある丸屋根の建物はポイント操作員詰所兼乗客の待合所。 電車通り沿いの商店に横縞の幕が張ってあるのは祭りのためと思われる。
その祭りは広島招魂祭で、毎年春か秋に西練兵場(現紙屋町交差点北側一帯)で行われ、戦前の広島市民が楽しみにしていた祭りの一つだった。
映像は招魂祭中に行われたと思われる第5師団の行進へと続く。歩兵、騎兵の行進の後、初期の戦車らしき映像も見える。

The initial cut shows the Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall (Industrial Promotion Hall). The next cut is a view of Kamiya-cho intersection from the south, showing in the middle a domed-roof structure which sheltered switch operators and passengers. The screens with horizontal stripes installed in front of shops lining the tram road indicate that a festival was underway. The festival in question was the Hiroshima Shokon-sai, which was held annually either in spring or autumn at the Western Drill Ground (area north of today’s Kamiya-cho intersection), and was a major event in pre-war Hiroshima City.] The footage subsequently records a military parade by the 5th Division, apparently held during the festival. Early models of tanks are also shown, following infantry and cavalry processions.
