A fishing container that seems to have been washed away from Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, in the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, was found ashore on the coast of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, nine and a half years after the earthquake. ..

This month, a plastic container was found on the northwestern coast of Ishigaki Island.

The size is about 1 meter 50 cm in length, 1 meter 10 cm in width, and 70 cm in height, and although part of it is broken and coral is attached, it is printed as "Miyako Fisheries Cooperative" or "2005". It can be read.

When I checked with the Miyako Fisheries Cooperative in Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture, all the containers for fishing were washed away by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in 2009, nine and a half years ago, and this time I found one of them. It means that you can see it.

Mr. Yasuhiro Nomura, who runs a restaurant near the container, said, "It was not only surprising but also lonely that it flowed to the beautiful beach nine and a half years after the earthquake."
