震災遺構 米沢商会

The enormous tsunami damage nine years ago is a great word! Even if the story tells the story of the damage to posterity I don't think it can be understood as an actual problem. I watched it on TV Yonezawa wants to leave the "owned building" for future generations, "Seeing is believing", and the next generation of people will see the building. I think you can feel it.

I started to see it Yonezawa Shokai, do your best!

It's been 10 years since that event, which distorted the lives and destiny of many people. Looking south from Rikuzentakata Station on the BRT line, you will notice the fact that this building and "that inundation line that separated life and death" are almost horizontal to your line of sight. At first glance, it seems that reconstruction is not progressing, and the surrounding area overlooking from the station. I had the impression that only the area above "the hill with the embankment (hardened base) up to this position" would not proceed. (Are individuals and businesses unwilling to build a building in a flooded area, just because of the relocation of the roadside station and the toilets around the official earthquake remains?) A huge embankment was built on the sea side, and you can no longer see the horizon. But without such robust prevention, it's easy to imagine that everyone was so deeply hurt that no one could live and run. When the embankment is completed, the wounds will gradually heal and will eventually be forgotten. However, every time I saw this building, there were two lives that survived because of the chimney (exhaust port?) At the top. All the houses under my eyes were swallowed by the waves and flooded, and while surrounded by the rubble floating on the immediate side, I continued to think about the safety of my family on that frustrating night. I would like you to go to the interview article of Mr. Yonezawa at that time and listen to the story while he is still fine and listen to the story, and remember this building from the hill. Even the hill was built after the earthquake, including the fact that it was submerged at that time. It is considered to be a great value of this building to think about it and take lessons from each.

(Visit February 1, 2021) There is almost nothing around this building 10 years after the earthquake. It is a vacant lot. Reconstruction will take so long. It is a building that has been decided to be left as the remains of the earthquake. There is no exhibition of explanations, but it is a building where you can feel the horror of the earthquake and tsunami. I definitely want you to visit us.

Earthquake disaster remains left at own expense. The surrounding buildings have been demolished at national expense, and the buildings left by the owner's strong will stand out.
