大正15年(1925年)9月15日 撮影:藤井重一氏
中区大手町など
可部町在住の撮影者が家族と共に広島市を訪れた際に撮影。
初めのカットは元安橋を歩く家族。元安橋は同年に竣工したばかりで、参考資料によると「親柱の上には橋詰めの球が、その間には照明灯が載せられ、広島県立商品陳列所(1933年に産業奨励館と改称)付近のモダンな光景を一層高めていた」。その後映像は、産業奨励館の横から相生通りに出て、日清戦勝記念碑へ歩き、ピクニックをする親子の姿を収めている。

Filmed September 15, 1925 (Taisho 15), by Shuichi Fujii
Ote-machi, Naka Ward, and other locations
Filmed by a resident of Kabe Town during a family trip to Hiroshima City, the first cut shows the family walking over Motoyasu Bridge. The bridge had only been completed the same year, and according to a contemporary account, “The pillars on both ends were topped with spheres, and the pillars in between had lamps on them, enhancing the modern ambience of the area around the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall (known as the Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall prior to 1933).” The footage also shows the family walking past the Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall toward Aioi-dori Avenue, coming upon a Sino-Japanese War memorial, and subsequently enjoying a picnic.
