I added a story below :

March 15th 2011,

as Japanese government had banned private truckers from entering into 30 kilo meters area,

at the same time firefighters also had to withdrew from the area.

This led to a temporary suspension of rescue operations for those who still had been remained in Tsunami’s debris.

When I visited this place in the winter of 2011,

I found a small wooden hut in ruined place.

It contained items found in the debris left by the tsunami.

I remembered that there were many school children’s school bags in it and added to the picture.
