We are making play place as supporting Koganehama Chibikko Hiroba (Koganehama Kid’s Playground) managed by local residents and a volunteer group. We have been making it by utilizing a wood getting salt damage, debris carried by the tsunami or things being there like that.
In this time, kids and we folded paper cranes to pray for quick recovery of an elderly man who had come there from when we had begun to making the place and had kept eye on kids, because we heard that he had been hospitalized.
Paper crane is a symbol for long life in Japan. The kids painted his picture in addition to paper cranes, while concentrating for a few hours. It made us feel that the connections among people were being grown through making play place.
