Notities over Adriana M KUYPER

Ms. Kuyper died in the massive Kanto earthquake. She was pinned in one of the collapsed school buildings. Other teachers and staff tried to rescue her but were unable to reach her before the fires came. Her last words were, “Go. It is God’s will.” From her supreme sacrifice the school received its motto, “For others,” which is drawnfrom Philippians 2:4. The fact that the school still escorts every incoming class to this site says something profound. There is yet much hope for the future of the mission here. REF: RCA Mission Update, 2007
Description: On September 1, 1923 two minutes before noon, a devastating earthquake hit the densely populated area of Tokyo and Yokohama. The shocks reached peaks of 7.9 on the Richter scale. The damages caused by the fires that immediately broke out and raged for three days, were by far worse than those caused by the earthquake itself. When the first shocks hit, many charcoal cooking stoves were in use for the preparation of the lunch meal. And light to strong winds made the fires spread within a few minutes in Tokyo and Yokohama.

The death toll was terrible. 140,000 people lost their lives - 58,000 of them in Tokyo. The typical Japanese houses were light buildings with wooden tile roofs and fires had always been a major threat in Japanese cities. Houses were built close to each other with hardly any empty space between them. People had no place to escape and most victims suffocated or burned in the fires.
