A fire that burned one-third of Hakodate erupted. Sanjiro gathered 200 carpenters, prepared rice and candles himself, and rushed to the site.

On March 21, 1934, a great fire broke out in Hakodate, burning one-third of the city. Sanjiro gathered 200 carpenters, prepared rice and candles himself, and rushed to the site. When his brother said, "What if we can't gather enough people?", Sanjiro scolded him, "If we can't, that's not acceptable. We must go." Upon arrival, he proposed a new temporary housing plan that could be quickly built using existing lumber to the local government, contributing to early recovery.
