This project invites three photographers to the Sanriku coast in 2021, 10 years after the earthquake. The three photographers, who have had a unique relationship with Sanriku, will each experience and capture the life, culture, and nature, among other things, in Sanriku from their own perspectives. Photographer Tatsuki Masaru will document local folk performing arts groups in Sanriku. His photographs and video interviews will be exhibited in Sanriku Railway cars. In March, a live talk session titled “Sanriku by Three Photographers” (Asada Masashi, Ishikawa Naoki, and Tatsuki Masaru) will be held.
