There are currently many elderly people living in temporary housing facilities located in Otsuchi City and Kamaishi City that do not work.

The women create dust cloths and quilted clothing stitch by stitch with faces full of life, appreciative of the fact that they are able to work and be among friends. We intend to hold photo exhibitions in Otsuchi City, Kamaishi City, and Morioka City that capture the faces of these women as they work. |

Kesennuma Reconstruction through Photos Project |
| Activity |
Kesennuma Oshima Photography Class |
| Activity Period |
11/1/2012 to 11/1/2013 |
| Overview |
It has been one year and eight months since the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred. An owner of a guest house had said, “There was very little information given about Oshima since the earthquake struck. Now it’s a shame considering all this has happened…”
The difference in the amount of reports given for the various disaster areas has a considerable effect on local industry and residents. It has once again been felt that news reports start decreasing and people are forgetting about the area which makes it a true disaster area.
This photography class has now been held five times. Children participate in a photography workshop and take photos of what they see in the disaster area. These photos are displayed for people to see. |
