It has been 10 years and 1 month in 11 days since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the tsunami, a new sign with the words "Let's do our best! Ishinomaki", which continued to encourage many people after the earthquake, was installed.
The sign that says "Let's do our best! Ishinomaki" is on the site of Kenichi Kurosawa (50), whose home and workplace were washed away by the tsunami, to express his feelings of not losing to the tsunami one month after the Great East Japan Earthquake. I raised it.
It has become known to many as a message to encourage those affected by the disaster, and every year on March 11th, an event with a memorial lantern is held, and now it is a place to mourn the victims and convey the memories of the earthquake. It is also.
The signboard was rebuilt five years ago when it was moved to a nearby reconstruction prayer park due to the construction of a residential area, but it is the third generation because it has deteriorated due to exposure to rain and wind. I made a new sign.
On the 11th, Mr. Kurosawa and the locals gathered to remove the old signboard and then set up a new signboard 2 meters long and 11 meters wide.
Mr. Kurosawa created the new signboard with a local junior high school student, and the colors and design were almost the same as before to convey the memory of the time of the earthquake.
Mr. Kurosawa, who continues to hand down the earthquake, said, "I hope that seeing the signboard will give you an opportunity to learn about the earthquake."
