A book that is now a rare find, and rightly so! Kazuo Kitai, a leading Japanese photographer, offers us a personal and moving portrait of the regions ravaged by the 2011 tsunami.

"Walking through these villages where everything had been washed away, including houses and dikes, traces indicated the location of an old road. People had started walking on these traces again, recreating a path on the old one. It was as if the road had a life of its own. I took countless photographs of roads taken over the centuries. These roads overlap with those I see in the disaster area, and they also seem to overlap with the Anshan Road, which my family took as refugees." (Kazuo KITAI)
