With the help of Tokyo Shimbun and photographer Maki Ishii, Fukushima Minpo is hosting an exhibition to commemorate the 2011 earthquake and its impact on Fukushima. You’ll be able to browse through images taken by Ishii, who has visited Fukushima every month since the disaster, documenting the situation of local people. She continued to return for years after being inspired by a person she met at an evacuation shelter, who asked her to tell their story through her photos.
Ishii has also captured images of bands like Dragon Ash, Ellegarden and Man with a Mission, who performed at a disaster relief in the Tohoku region. The images are filled with positive, uplifting handwritten messages for the survivors written by the musicians and even the photographer herself.
