The monument was engraved with the names of the 42 victims, and I went through them, one by one.
Their personalities, as well as how they were remembered by their loved ones, were documented in Shigaraki Ressha Jiko (Shigaraki train accident), a litigation record published by Gendaijinbun-sha, which I read before visiting the site.
