A community has been largely destroyed, described as 'beyond recognition' with debris and damaged fishing boats. Amidst this devastation, signs of community support and resilience, referred to as 'ibasho', have emerged.
It was “beyond recognition”, according to Saito. The once-thriving community had been largely flattened, replaced by mounds of debris and fishing boats. Amid the tragedy, however, clear signs of ibasho had started to emerge.
Looking out for the rest of the community started on the first night in the evacuation shelter, said 66-year-old Saito.
“Amid all the anxiety, people helped one another by sharing blankets and the like,” she said. “In our case, a friend whose home had not been damaged heard that our family was at the evacuation centre, came to pick us up and invited us to stay at their home, where we were taken care of for a few days.”
Later, as concerns increased about the worsening situation at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, relatives in another prefecture gave the family refuge.
