About

After the tsunami destroyed his hometown, Naoya Hatakeyama decided to return and see the damage caused by the disaster. On the way to Rikuzentakata, he wrote a diary which was transcribed in "Kesengawa". His texts accompany the images taken before and after the tsunami. The panorama of this town on the northeast coast of Japan changes dramatically from a peaceful nature to a destroyed cluster of housing.
