a commemorative photo together in front of “Wind Phone”
Unlike the impression I see on TV, I can talk to them in a friendly manner, so I didn’t feel like a celebrity, and I just chatted.

According to him, “He seems to be looking at himself,” he said, “He seems to be looking at himself.” I think he felt that he was thin and smart, and he was not fat no matter how much he ate.
This time I was told that he would come with his wife and went home. I’m looking forward him to finding some hints for the next work.

Mr. Miura, a photographer from Gifu visited Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA. He came to the children’s garden in Ofunato to deliver “Halloween persimmons” with a persimmon farmer.
And it was Yoko Okumura, an alpa player, who came with them. She came from Nagoya to a concert in Ishinomaki, and after the concert, she said she really wanted to go to “Wind Phone” and “leave” the music to those who died in the earthquake.
This is the first time to hear Paraguayan instrument, and it seems that there are only three players in Japan. Even so, “I’ll leave the music” was the first word I heard again.
I felt that the tone of the alpa was very similar to the harp. Playing with tears what kind of life has she lived
She is the second person to play a music in front of “Wind Phone” since Katsumi Matsumoto, a violinist, but both of them are quite good, coupled with the spiritual atmosphere.
It is a live image at the time of Hodo Station, a TV news program on February 11, 2016.
“Wind Phone” read by Keiko Takeshita at Miyagi Gakuen Women’s University on March 6, everyone felt that the idea of not forgetting the earthquake was conveyed to the world. Also, after the broadcast of “NHK Special” on March 10, many people were impressed, and we have received encouraging emails and letters from all over the country asking them to continue. This is all the content that impresses me.
NPO Portamo’s “One Step to the Future-People-to-People Connections Heart-to-heart Connections” at the Mito City General Welfare Hall on March 12. Five years after the earthquake… The concert, which talks about the feelings for reconstruction and continues with music, will never forget the victims, and everything that has received “life” will take the first step toward the future. It is a song and a narrative that expresses the feelings that made it possible to take a step forward.
The only way to overcome sadness and suffering without staying there is to do whatever you want. It is also good to come to “Wind Phone” at your own will. I think that what you want to come is a step out of the grief, and you can change your consciousness and see the future. I strongly felt that in the activities of Portamo. I look forward to an even better stage in the future.
Five years after the Great Earthquake, the feelings of those who visit “Wind Phone” have changed.
I pray that I can change my consciousness as soon as possible.
Everyone, have you been doing well today for the first time in a while? I got sick last December and had to take a rest. Please be assured that it has improved considerably.
By the way, March 11th marks the fifth year since the Great East Japan Earthquake, but more than 190,000 people are still forced to live in evacuation centers.
Australian psychiatrist Beverley Raphael, in his book “When a Disaster Hits”, states that “forgotten” is the greatest danger to disaster victims. Many of the victims are still living a life that should not be forgotten. I would like to remind those people and give them their thoughts.
On the other hand, there are also plans in various places to remember to be close to everyone.
Introducing “Wind Phone”, on March 6th, Tohoku University International Research Institute of Disaster Science / Miyagi Gakuin Women’s University / Kataritsugu Sendai Executive Committee / Reconstruction Support Concert Executive Committee “Katari Tsugi” reading and music evening sponsored by the society at Miyagi Gakuin Women’s University.
On March 12th, a concert at the Ibaraki Prefectural General Welfare Hall Community Hall, sponsored by NPO Portamo, that talks about the feelings for reconstruction and listens to music.
Broadcast on March 10th at NHK Special from 10 pm on “Wind Phone”.
And so on. If you have time near you, please take a look.
Speaking of picture books author Yoko Imoto, I think that many people have read them once or twice, or have them read when you were children.
Ms. Imoto asked for consent to publish a picture book of “Kaze no Denwa” through the editor of Kinnohoshi Co., Ltd on June 25, 2015. Then, for seven and a half months, I was shown the manuscript twice during that time. And this month, on February 14th, I was informed that “I will send it. It was published.”
On the morning of the 15th, I was waiting for my luggage to arrive, despite the heavy snow warning. The long-awaited work finally arrived and I opened it immediately. Along with the scent of a new book, I was impressed that “Wind Phone” became a picture book after about three years.
Understanding my thoughts that invisible and inaudible things are necessary as mental infrastructure to convey feelings to those who have lost or lost their loved ones, and made them into picture books. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ms. Imoto and Kinnohoshi, Mr. Saito the editor, and everyone who has sympathized with “Wind Phone” nationwide.
The original picture exhibition of the picture book “Kaze no Denwa” will be held at the “The Library of the Forest ” at Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA as follows. This is a unique opportunity to see Yoko Imoto’s precious original drawings. Please do not miss.
