Photographing Ishinomaki after the Great East Japan Earthquake. 75 photos, poetry and essay.

What a huge epic-lyric poem, a symphony of photographs and words! This is a record of the illuminations of countless souls, departing from the cruel claw marks in March and arriving to the celebration of the repeated activities between Gaia and human.
– Shohei Nakajyo (French literature)

Photographs intertwine with scenes, and words with photos. Flipping the pages leads you to another side of the world. Then, you will notice that. Being connected to over there is the way of prayer after the disaster.
– Hiroshi Hasegawa (philosopher)
