I have a little free time、I suddenly went to Okushiri Island。 1993Immediately after the Hokkaido Southwest Offshore Earthquake of the year、Since the New Year six months later、It's been 17 years since I visited this island。 This time I decided to go to the island for the first time in a long time、After all the influence of the Great East Japan Earthquake is strong。 There are some victims of this earthquake among the students of the photography school.、If you come home regularly and show me a photo that records the transformation of your hometown、The scenery of the city does not change much between the pictures taken in March and the pictures taken in June.。As usual, mountains of rubble fill the scenery of the city、Reminded that reconstruction still needs a long time。 On Okushiri Island, a complete reconstruction declaration was made in 1998, five years after the earthquake.、For me, this island has always been an "island of rubble".。 But over that long time、I wanted to confirm with my own eyes that reconstruction would be achieved without fail, and to dispel the impression of "islands of rubble" on this visit.。 And East Japan earthquake disaster、I also wanted to imagine the future (actually after the Great East Japan Earthquake).、It seems that many local governments have visited the current state of reconstruction and inspections of disaster prevention facilities.)。 I visited without much planning、Fortunately, the day I arrived at the island was the day of the earthquake.、A memorial service was held in the heavily damaged Aonae district。 A junior high school student who lights a lantern with a friendly atmosphere、Children born after a disaster。Of course, they didn't have the impression that it was an island of rubble.、Video and materials、I can only know about that time from the stories I heard from my family。 Under the clear sky、Looking at their innocent look、My consciousness about this island changes。 The day when the sadness of the bereaved families disappears may not come、Nevertheless, the landscape of the home island will be inherited while changing for the next generation.。 This time it was a short stay、Visit again slowly、I want to enjoy beautiful nature and abundant seafood。 ≫ 18年前
