We followed Mio Kamitani to visit the vacant site of the former Otsuchi Town Hall. Where many local government officers and the mayor had perished, the two-story Town Hall building had been demolished in March 2019 after a long debate. To many, it had been too painful to see the building, which reminded them of the loss of their loved ones every day. Ms. Kamitani asked us to commemorate the disaster with a moment of silence, and we shared our memories of the 2009 Typhoon Morakot disaster that had devastated communities in Taiwan exactly 10 years earlier on site. She recognized the cross-border connection among disaster-stridden places like Taiwan and Japan. “Guess what? My kid is now staying at a daycare in the Kirikiri area of Otsuchi, whose reconstruction was sponsored by Taiwanese people. These kids are happy that they’re cared about by people elsewhere.” With her words constantly coming back to us, we have compiled this edited volume to share learnings and theorizing of recovery stories extending beyond borders. The case of Otsuchi is one, but the geographies of our work go beyond connections between Japan and Taiwan. |
