Kyoikuto, Educational memorial tower and cenotaph in Osaka Castle Park, Japan
The Kyoikuto structure combines a 30-meter tower and cenotaph made of reinforced concrete and white granite within a 333-square-meter area.
Built in 1936, the Kyoikuto memorializes over 600 children and 25 school staff who perished during the devastating Muroto typhoon of 1934.
The monument displays name plates of victims in side rooms and features reliefs depicting educators during the typhoon, along with inscriptions in Japanese characters.
The Education Festival takes place annually at Kyoikuto on October 30, gathering locals and visitors to honor educational achievements and remember the typhoon victims.
The central room beneath the tower contains a stone monument with the Japanese inscription やすらかに, marking eternal rest for the young lives lost.
