Typhoon No. 19 A bereaved family visits the grave one year before the disaster Saku Nagano October 11, 19:14
A woman from Saku City, who lost her husband, visited a grave on the 11th and prayed before it was a year since Typhoon No. 19 last year, which caused great damage to Nagano Prefecture.
The heavy rain disaster of Typhoon No. 19 in October last year killed 15 people in Nagano prefecture, including disaster-related deaths.
Of these, Mr. Kazumasa Mitsuishi (68 at the time) from Saku City lost his whereabouts on the evening of October 12, when the typhoon approached, while driving from his home to a nearby elementary school to pick up sandbags. Found in the body a month later.
One year before Mr. Kazumasa died, his wife, Takae (71), visited a grave near his home with his daughter and grandson.
Takaeda and his colleagues turned the flowers in front of the grave, offered sushi and drinks that Mr. Kazumasa liked, then raised incense sticks and quietly put their hands together and prayed.
Mr. Takaeda said, "It's been a year since my husband died, but I still want him to come back. I told my husband to keep an eye on me." ..
