Content:
Dr. Langdon Warner of Harvard’s Fogg Museum expressed deep sorrow ("felt terrible") over the destruction of an ancient Buddhist temple in Nara, Japan, caused by a fire. This temple, which housed prized murals, was among the historic treasures Dr. Warner had worked to protect from American bombs during wartime.
He is quoted stating:
“What can you say except that it’s terrible. The temple is the oldest wooden building in use in the world—probably the oldest standing.”
This clipping refers to the destruction of Kōfuku-ji Temple’s Golden Hall (Kondō) in Nara, Japan, which suffered a fire on January 26, 1949 — the date of the original report.

The temple mentioned was one of Japan’s oldest and most revered wooden structures, dating back to the 8th century.
The clipping captures both the cultural loss and the profound personal impact felt by those who dedicated themselves to art preservation during times of conflict.
