Statue of Kohei Kiguchi

Statue on a high pedestal

Original Text

　While strolling around the ruins of Hamada Castle, I saw this statue in the precincts of Gokoku Shrine. This statue was on a very high pedestal and I found out that it was built as a prewar hero. The figure with a trumpet in one hand and a bayonet in the other hand was very brave, and I felt that it was a statue representing the militaristic era of the time.

Kiguchi died in the Sino Japanese War, but he continued to blow the advance trumpet even if he received a bullet, and did not break the attitude to blow after his death. A statue was built in this place after the infantry belonging to Kiguchi was based in Hamada.

A statue of Shohei Kiguchi in the precincts of Hamada Gokoku Shrine on the ruins of Hamada Castle. A soldier who did not leave the trumpet even when he was sluggish during the Sino Japanese War. It seems that there is a statue in this place because the place where the regiment I belonged to was Hamada. It is one of the statues that symbolize the military era.
