Where did you come at 2:40 p.m. on March 11, 2011? I was born near the wall of the Kidai Shoran, an underground concourse in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.Great East Japan Earthquake's Memory and Reconstruction exhibition is being held in the same place. (Until the 30th. Free of charge.
About 20,000 people died in missing person, about 360,000 houses partially destroyed ... more than 600 days have passed since great disaster, but traces of earthquakes and tsunamis remain in various places and many people are forced to evacuate. The organizer says that the exhibition was held to convey the response to the Great East Japan Earthquake and the situation of reconstruction, and that the days of fighting against major earthquake will not be weathered.
The exhibits include those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake (road signs, clocks, etc.), photo panels before and after the tsunami, and panels introducing reconstruction activities, but photos of Ishinomaki Kitakami River estuary and Takada Matsubara have a feeling of millet on the skin no matter how many times you look.
Another interesting thing is the introduction of disaster traditions in Tohoku. It is a legend that passed on safe evacuation site to future generations based on the experience of the past tsunami, such as Funakoshi Yamanouchi in Iwate and Yamadamachi, and the story of Matsuyama and Kosaji in Miyagi and Tagajo.
At the end of Matsuyama Nami Kosoji (Motosuke Kiyoharano) while squeezing the sleeves into a contract.
It's a familiar song with Hyakunin Isshu. The wave crosses Matsuyama at the end ... It is an analogy of what can not happen, but the tsunami rushed to the surrounding area in Great East Japan Earthquake, but only Matsuyama at the end remained without flooding.

On March 11th, on Chuo-dori, on the ground, preparations for the 100th anniversary of the Nihonbashi Bridge, "Edo Furumachi Festival", which will be held the next day, were reaching its final stage. I also bought an advance ticket for one of the events, "ladder liquor tournament", and was looking forward to the day, but the festival was canceled. I would like you to revive the ladder liquor tournament with Tohoku sake and appetizers someday.
