On Aug. 30, Seiryuji Temple’s Jizoson (Guardian Deity of Children) Festival was held. Forty traditional Japanese lanterns made of driftwood were created for the festival. Many buildings in Kozumi Beach in Kesen-numa city are still left as they were when the earthquake struck the area. The amount of driftwood that was swept onto the shore by the lapping waves relates the passage of time. The students put together the driftwood and LED lights in their own imaginative ways. They started to chat with the local people as they worked in front of the shops in the shopping center. They tried to keep the structures simple and the cost low, so that the local children and residents could also create them in their own inspirational styles. The lanterns were arranged in a row on the street that had submerged. They were lanterns of requiem inviting the people to the festival. Since some people who had seen the lanterns asked if they could have the lanterns, we decided to let them take them home. After the festival, people took home their favorite lantern and by the end, there were none left. The next day, we saw one being used as a window display. It is a shop which first floor had submerged to the ceiling. (Nonaka)
