Buddhist statue carved from tsunami-struck pine trees
RIKUZENTAKATA, Iwate Prefecture
About 7,000 people across Japan created a Buddhist statue from trees of a forest that was flattened by the 2011 tsunami.

Seizan Watanabe, a Buddhist statue sculptor based in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, was the main carver of the kannon (deity of mercy) statue.
But thousands of others also played a part.

After the project started in January 2012, wood for the statue was sent to about 30 locations around the country where residents could each chisel a portion and make donations for the Tohoku region.
The project was planned to pray for those killed by the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, and to support reconstruction of the stricken region.

The statue will be on display in Watanabe’s hometown of Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, starting on Jan. 24, before it is donated to Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, one of the hardest-hit areas in the disaster.

. . . Upon a request from the temple, Watanabe visited Rikuzentakata and was deeply touched by the words of the survivors.
“We owe it to those who were killed to remain firm and move forward,”
one of them said.
