About 1,400 firearms and 1,200 swords believed to be from the period of World War II were discovered buried at an elementary school in western Tokyo, city officials said Monday.
Grenades, bullets and cannonballs were also found one to two meters underneath the grounds of the Tanashi Elementary School in the city of Ni****okyo.
The discovery of the cache of weapons came during excavation work that began in July linked to the construction of a building, the officials said.
