was so happy to see the We Are One Market in kitakami standing so strong. brilliant design and pretty much the only building standing for miles. it’s a sign of hope, a sign of passion, and a sign of moving forward. what an amazing accomplishment Naomi-san!
it’s fall in tohoku and the mountains are so colorful. on the drive there and back, i was in awe at mothers beautiful nature!
Kiku-chan is a survivor. one of the strongest people i’ve ever met.
going up on the hill overlooking ishinomaki is a routine. been up there on our 8 times and you can see in front of you the progress, or no progress. i’m just wondering if they are going to rebuild this part of the city or not.
the other side of ishinomaki is looking great. new roads, new buildings, and things are looking clean.
omg, i don’t watch tv anymore so i didn’t have a clue what happened in the philippines. i just watched CNN now and seen a tsunami hit the village!!! that wasn’t a typhoon, it was a tsunami! a 14′ wave surge is like a tsunami and i’m super shocked right now. OMG!
