Photo-Kizuna-Project

In early spring, on March 11, a major earthquake that was so unprecedented as to be described as a once-in-a-millennium event occurred in Northeastern Japan.
Based in Tokyo, we of photo-kizuna-project have called upon photographers, photography studios and photographic laboratories in the capital to assist in the preservation and restoration of the photographs of the memories of those affected by the disaster that were exposed to the tsunami, and have obtained their agreement to do this.
As a volunteer member of the project we first visited the disaster countermeasures center at Yamamoto-cho, a seaside town in Miyagi Prefecture. A large number of albums and photographs that were found during the rescue efforts have been placed in storage, but as day-to-day rescue and reconstruction activities are being prioritized, the reality is that they cannot deal with things like photographs locally. Consequently, although the photographs are being stored by the various municipal governments, we have discovered the fact that every minute of every day, the color is disappearing from these photographs because of the effects of seawater and mud.
