Abstract

Three zoos in eastern Japan were members of the Japanese Association of Zoological Gardens and Aquariums in 1943: Ueno Zoo and Inokashira Park Zoo in the Kantō region, eastern Japan, and Sendai City Zoo in the Tōhoku region, northeastern Japan (see map).

Nevertheless, that was not all zoos had to cope with during the war. What they had dreaded most was yet to come.
