Launch of “Parents’ Association for Losing Children”

We will launch the “Parents’ Association for the Lost Children” that was planned for this year.

Looking back on our activities so far, there are still many people who have a feeling of loss, suffering, sadness, and regret, and have not been able to feel the change in time since the time of the earthquake.

By exhaling the inside of the chest with “The Phone of the Wind”, the burden on the mind is lightened. Half of the burden is left on “The Phone of the Wind”.

However, it is not enough and I hope you can sing a song this time. I think that both “The Phone of the Wind” and songs will lead to opening your mouth and uttering words, which will be the first step to interact with people on a daily basis.

Next, I hope that people with similar circumstances and positions can get together, talk about each other’s feelings, comfort each other, understand each other’s feelings, and find hope. If you can come to “The Phone of the Wind” and get your approval, I would like to set up the “Parents’ Association for the Lost Children” to stay close to them.

In addition, we will manage the meeting with the cooperation of “Kokoro no Kashibashi”.

“The Phone of the Wind” became a song

This time, “The Phone of the Wind” will be a song lyrics written by Itaru Sasaki, and sung by Masato Okubo. First recording was on May 13th. After that, on the 20th, it was almost decided to make a CD by recording with fine adjustments.

“The Phone of the Wind” that conveys your feelings on the wind to an important person you can no longer meet. Talk on the phone about your feelings in the empty telephone booth. In that space, there are only two important people who can no longer meet themselves. You can speak in words or just cry.

Just saying it or crying will alleviate the feeling of loss, suffering, sadness, and regret.

Please sing this song. This song your feelings and the feelings of those who can no longer meet.

I hope that by singing words and singing songs, I will be able to regain my previous daily life.

Photographer Shinya Fujiwara takes a picture of “The Phone of the Wind”

May 14th and 15th Photographer Shinya Fujiwara visited Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA and interviewed for “Wind Phone”.

I was ashamed to say that I didn’t know him when I was contacted to visit on the 12th. So I refused, “I’m busy recording “The Phone of the Wind” on the 13th.” Then he bluntly said, “Then I will be in Otsuchi on the 13th and visit you at 10 o’clock on the 14th.”

Later, when I talked to Mr. Okubo who came to the meeting, he said, “I also have his photo book. He is a famous photographer.” Then I searched him on the internet and found out that I found out that he is a super big photographer.

After that, it developed into an unexpected development. To be continued…

The Original Picture Exhibition of the Picture Book “Kaze no Denwa” going on now

The Original Picture Exhibition of the Picture Book “Kaze no Denwa”, which started on April 20, has passed one week.

Before the holidays, 105 people visited. Some of them came without knowing about it, and they were surprised and delighted as watching the splendor of the original paintings.

On May 3rd, there was a storytelling of “Kaze no Denwa” and an event of an Irish harp concert, and the reader of the picture book was decided. This time, there are two groups, Masako Sugawara, the intelligence of Otsuchi Town, who lives in Morioka and the relay storytelling of the children of Otsuchi “Konoyubitomare”. Mr. Sugawara made a greeting from the victims at the 3.11 Morioka Memorial Ceremony on the 3rd anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The collaboration between the children and him is a selection of people who can feel the future and hope of Otsuchi Town, and I think that you can enjoy even more wonderful impressions with the performance of Yasuko Naka’s Irish harp.

In addition, it is guaranteed that the stage set of the natural environment of Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA will add a touch of glamour. We look forward to your early reservation.

The Original Picture Exhibition of the Picture Book “Kaze no Denwa”

It’s finally coming soon!

The picture book “Kaze no Denwa” was published in mid-February and I think  it already arrived at your hands. The Original Picture Exhibition of the Picture Book “Kaze no Denwa” will be held on the following schedule.

It is said that Yoko Imoto’s original painting exhibition is extremely rare and there are few opportunities to see it even in urban areas. This time, with the kindness of Ms. Imoto, it will be hold the event at the “The Library of Forest” at Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA. Ms. Imoto says, “The original picture is a bit different from the picture book.” By all means, I would like everyone to come and enjoy “The Phone of the Wind” that was the basis of the picture book and the original picture of the picture book.

In addition, we will hold an Irish harp concert  and a storytelling of the picture book “Kaze no Denwa” on May 3. The Irish harp player is a former Takarazuka Revue actress Yasuko Naka. She has often been in the disaster area and continued her playing activities.

In addition, we are looking for a wide range of people to read the picture book “Kaze no Denwa”, which will be co-starring with Yasuko Naka. However, it is limited to those who can participate as volunteers. If you are interested, please contact us until April 19th.
