Kesennuma man, 74, harvests last rice crop to focus on tsunami storytelling
Original: 気仙沼
In Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, a 74-year-old man who has continued farming rice since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami has harvested his final crop, Yomiuri Shimbun reports. He plans to devote himself full-time to work as a 'kataribe' — a storyteller passing on memories of the disaster — alongside his granddaughter, hoping to keep recovery and remembrance alive.
Why now: As the 2011 disaster fades from public attention, his transition to full-time storytelling underscores efforts to preserve memory of the tsunami in affected communities.
