In Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, there were 70,000 pine forests before the earthquake, and the only remaining "miracle pine" root that survived the tsunami will be open to the public in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo from the 11th.

The miraculous Ipponmatsu in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, is "Takada Matsubara," which is said to have had 70,000 pine trees in the past.



After that, it was found dead and the pine was cut down and preserved to preserve it as a monument, and it is now restored to its original location.



On the other hand, the root part was stored in a warehouse, but it will be open to the public in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo from the 11th so that many people can see it, and a preview was held on the 10th.



The roots of the exhibited "Miracle Pine" are 2.4 meters high and 13 meters wide, and are strongly rooted.



Hiroshi Naito, the architect who worked on the exhibition, said, "I was shocked when I first saw the miraculous Ipponmatsu root. I really want you to receive the message that the root appeals to you."



"It's been 11 years since the earthquake, but we haven't reached the point of recovery due to a lot of problems, but it may be difficult to understand from Tokyo. I hope you can see the roots and think about the disaster area. "



This exhibition will be held in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo from the 11th to February next year, and advance reservations are required to visit.
