Inamura no Hi

In 1854, a powerful earthquake strikes off the coast of Japan, triggering a massive tsunami. In a coastal village, the residents are unaware of the danger and refuse to evacuate due to ignorance and stubbornness. A local leader realizes that the only way to save them is to trick them into moving to higher ground.

He sets fire to the villagers' precious rice stacks, known as inamura, knowing they will rush to protect their livelihood. As the villagers run up the hill to save the burning grain, the tsunami crashes into the village, destroying everything in its path. Their homes are lost, but their lives are spared thanks to the sacrifice of the rice.
