Bunkyo Ward: Center and Police Department

bunkyo ward: Last year alone, the Metropolitan Police Department's lost and found center in Bunkyo Ward tried to reunite as many as 10 urns with their owners, according to The Japan Times. In every case, relatives of the deceased refused to come and collect them. And yet this should perhaps not surprise you urns are handed in to lost and found centers more regularly than you might think. Umbrellas are one of the most common items that accumulate at the center, so much so that a 660-square-meter room has been dedicated to storing them in the basement. Okubo says that roughly 3,000 umbrellas are found in Tokyo on a typical rainy day. The room wasn't quite full as of late April but Shoji Okubo, head of the center, says that this situation will change once the rainy season starts in June. (news.financializer.com).
