Item Description
As we drove up the hill and out of Kesennuma back along the Golden Trail, I reflected on the sense of stewardship that our Kesennuma colleagues had for their own history and helping it to be reborn. Why willfully destroy something of meaning after it manages to survive such a catastrophic disaster. I felt resolved that we should at least give their three treasures a fighting chance by helping now to move and restore them for future restoration. To do otherwise would be to turn them into just more debris.
