Late afternoon in May 2023, and I found myself standing before this striking red structure in Shizugawa — a powerful monument to recovery and remembrance. The bold architecture rises from the landscape like a beacon, speaking volumes about community resilience after the 2011 tsunami. Surrounded by newly planted greenery and rolling hills, it's a humbling reminder of how places rebuild and transform.

2023年5月、志津川でこの鮮烈な赤い建築に出会った。津波からの復興を象徴する力強い造形が、丘の上に聳え立つ。新しく植えられた草木に囲まれたこの場所は、時間とともに景色を変えていく町の姿を物語ってた。やっぱり、人間の営みって素晴らしいな。
