||
October, 1975. |
|||
In accordance with the Prime Minister's bulletin number XXX, Hinamizawa's electrical development master plan was announced. |
|||
<br />The vast scope of the projected Hinamizawa dam will have an incredibly heavy impact on the village of Hinamizawa. |
|||
The flooded area caused by the Hinamizawa dam would include the five areas of Hinamizawa, Takatsudo, Kiyotsu, Matsumoto, and Yagochi. |
|||
<br />The submerged area includes 291 houses. |
|||
<br />Population: 1,251, 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 post office, 1 agricultural cooperative, 1 forestry department lumber yard, 5 shrines, 2 temples, and 1 fishery. |
|||
<br />All of these communal, cultural, agricultural areas, and places of worship will be indefinitely submerged at the bottom of the artificial lake basin. |
|||
Forsaking the hundreds of years our ancestors poured their blood and sweat into this fertile, resource-rich land is just too painful to bear. |
|||
<br />All the residents having homes that were to be submerged banded together, and created the Onigafuchi Defense Alliance. |
|||
<br />The dam project was halted and petitions to alter the plan were circulated. |
|||
The citizens sought peaceful negotiations, but the government and its puppet company XXXXX openly refused. |
|||
<br />Performing unspeakable, heinous acts, they quashed the democratic actions of the villagers. |
|||
But the villagers did not falter. Instead, they banded together even more closely and steeled their resolve to protect their homes to the death. |
|||
The continuation of that frightening Hinamizawa dam construction project is still stalled as of today. |
|||
<br />The villagers understand that the stalling was caused by sublime power through unity and they understand that this fearsome plan has not yet been fully withdrawn. |
|||
The Onigafuchi Defense Alliance had been dissolved after it did its part, but the fellings of unity it garnered have not yet been extinguished. |
|||
<br />As long as that passion resides in the hearts of the residents, they'll be able to confront whomever next decides to sink their homes into a lake basin. |
|||
Onigafuchi Defense Alliance Committee Chairman, |
|||
<br />Kiichirou Kimiyoshi |
