My dry cleaning shop near the city office stood there for 80 years until it was swept away by tsunami. Still, I really love the nature that you can enjoy in Rikuzentakata city. I have no intention of moving to any other place. Once roads are rebuilt and safe evacuation center is put in place, people will start to feel like living near the sea again. I’d like to build my “recovery #1” shop in that empty area where my shop used to be.
