Documentary Photographs of the Earthquake Disaster: Focus on Higashinada and Nishinomiya Areas
Sakai, Mitsuhiro: Photography

On the night of the earthquake disaster, I walked the distance between Takarazuka and Uozaki, Higashinada-ku (from 9:20 pm on the 17th to 5:40 am on 18th). After arriving from Yokohama at Itami airport in the evening, I passed by Takarazuka, where the family was, and headed towards my parent's home in Higashi-Nada
