Item Description
The restoration of Kesennuma became a high priority both at the local and national levels because of the severity of the tsunami in Japan’s Tohoku (northeast) area. Since 2013, with support from the Freeman Foundation and a subsidy from Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs and Miyagi Prefecture, we have been working with the Kesennuma Kazamachi Cityscape Preservation Association for Community Recovery (KKCPA) on the restoration of six historic machiya (traditional townhouses).
