Memories of Sanriku-kaigan

After big earthquakes, huge Tsunamis hit Sanriku-kaigan (Sanriku seacoast).

Sanriku-kaigan is ria seaboard, so mountains close on the sea.

There were many small hamlets in Sanriku-kaigan.
People lived in narrow  lands near the sea.

The scenery was really beautiful and I love it.




Many peoples worked at fishing and/or cultivating oysters and seaweeds.




These hamlets were at Ogatsu suffered severe damages.
I'm afraid these hamlets disappeared now, and residents are isolated.





















Here was Onagawa where had a big fishing harbor.
Tsunamis hit Onagawa hardly and this town was broken-down wholly.
