Statue of Makoto - Itabashi City

There is a monument in front of the police box. It seems that there is always flower arrangement even now.

A memorial to those who look like mirrors of police officers trying to dive in and commit suicide to protect women from the train.

Every time I pass in front of this monument, I think that this tragedy must never happen again, I think the importance of human life.

I guess the deceased police officer would have lost his life by willing to give up living no matter what.

Is it related to Shinsengumi when thinking normally? I didn't know the connection between this area and Shinsengumi, but I only felt “I made something strange”, but I knew it well from a review of a person named “Yamashu”. This is an incident that is no longer left with the news. I thought I could go to a place where nobody wanted to die.

On February 6, 2007, at Tobu Tojo Line Tokiwadai Station, Kunihiko Miyamoto, 53-year-old chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Itabashi station, was trying to help an unemployed woman (39) who tried to enter the track and commit suicide. accident. It is said that the Chief of the Consul General, who was working at the Tokiwadai Station Police Station adjacent to the same station, played a role, but Miyamoto once brought the woman who was in the crossing to the police station, but the woman jumped out and the circuit breaker I re-entered the level crossing that was down and ran on the track crying "Don't die, I'll die." Miyamoto was trying to push a woman trying to stay on the track into an evacuation space under her home. The woman unhooked the police officer's arm and did not try to leave the track. The match lasted for a minute until he was caught on the train. The police officer who noticed that the express train approached shook his hand greatly toward the train and shouted "Stop it" many times. However, Tokiwadai Station is an express transit station. The train was not slowing down. "I noticed that they both put a brake and did not make it in time," the driver said. According to Tobu Railway, a sensor that automatically detects people and cars is installed at a level crossing where a woman enters the track. The sensor responds to people and cars that have stopped for more than six seconds after the circuit breaker comes down, and a traffic light in front of 40 meters informs the driver of the abnormality. However, the time when women and the chief of the policeman who followed him remained at the level crossing was short. Therefore the sensor did not work. At home, there were four button-type emergency notification devices. When someone pressed a button, they could alert the train that was within 1 kilometer. However, at the end of the rush hour, there were no station staff members by chance, and many of the customers who were looking at Momoi did not press the button at the moment. In March of the next year, he received the award from the then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (when he was in the first cabinet), and the Asahi-Nissan Shoko Akira, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Governor's Honorary Prize. In June of the same year, a monument "Makoto no Tori", which honors Miyamoto Police Department with contributions from the town association and the whole country, was installed in front of Tokiwadai police box. Public funerals were held at the Aoyama Funeral Hall, more than 20,000 people visited the special exhibition held at the Police Museum, and approximately 1,800 people visited the memorial concert held at the Hibiya Park Small Music Hall, 2008 At the time, it was socially popular at the time, such as "It became a thousand winds and it became drama special" which was broadcasted on Fuji TV series on February 15, 2015. "Tell it down." It is the title of a book published by Hidenori Yamaguchi in February 2008 after being held a second job in Miyamoto police department (second class special promotion and police department police department after a postgraduate occupation). It means, "Do your best to do your best, take one step further, and don't stop until you fall over." It is a word that was taught by his father when Miyamoto police department was young. The attitude that the Miyamoto police department embodied has been handed down to junior police officers. November 30, 2016, around 5:45 am where commuters are also sparse. Mr. Hidenobu Obata (25), a police officer in front of the same rearing school, near the Itabashi station Tokiwadai police box where the Miyamoto police department was crucified, caught a figure of a man who was passing by right at the end of his eyes. The distance between the railroad crossing and the police box is about 20 meters. The alarm sounds. There was a man inside the blocker. I jumped out at a moment, and I passed through the circuit breaker without hesitation. A big horn and a brake sound came overhead. But I only saw men. Holding the sides from the front, I dragged my back. Immediately after, the train passed by the sight full. Was saved. There was no injury. The man was in his 60s nearby and when Obata asked Mr. Obata, he muttered, "I want to die." After that, the family took over the man, and the nearby stationmaster said, “There was no problem with the operation.” On February 3, the following year, the police commissioner award was given.

I had a coke and sweets on my way back from work. Before human fear of death, we can not act like that. Mr. Miyamoto is a police officer among police officers! Anyway, I think that you are working a fine police officer watching over us! Everyone, please visit once and offer them to Miyamoto's police department and have courage!

There was an accident on February 6, 2007. Even now, the flowers are constant. "There is no life for everyone to lose." -. At the Tokiwadai primary school, which is close to the site, it seems that classes that children think about the importance of life in response to Mr. Miyamoto's action. I am wondering if it is good talk. I think that I wanted Miyamoto's family members, relatives, friends, and people at work to be alive. People who choose their own death for various reasons should also be around who thinks they want to live.
