A month has passed since the earthquake. In the affected areas, volunteers who retrieve "items filled with memories" buried under rubble are helping people get back to their daily lives. ■ "We found a long-sleeved kimono!" "Memories" become the power of tomorrow (Announcer Kazuma Sasaki) "The work has just begun. We are searching for important household items." On the morning of the 4th, in Wajima City, the work of retrieving items filled with family memories from a collapsed building was underway. "The large collapsed beams and pillars inside are in the way..." Mr. Fujiyama, who requested the work, was watching the work closely. (Mr. Kazushi Fujiyama (57), who requested the work) "I would be grateful if they could find the long-sleeved kimono that my daughter wore for her coming-of-age ceremony. I think it would be a memory for my daughter too, so I hope they find it." In particular, what Mr. Fujiyama wanted them to find was the long-sleeved kimono worn for the coming-of-age ceremony of his eldest daughter, Kanoko, who lives far away. (Announcer Sasaki Kazuma) "Heavy machinery has been brought in, and we are now able to get a better idea of ​​what's going on inside the house. It's not even clear where the rooms were, so they are pushing aside the wood and working." The first thing they found was... "Yes, Dad, we've found a treasure." (Announcer Sasaki Kazuma) "A big chest of drawers was pulled out from inside the house." (Eldest son Fujiyama Kaishi (18)) "It's a photo, it's mine." (Father Isshi) "It's you, Kaishi. Is it from when you were in the tummy?" "Something from an ultrasound of your son when he was in the tummy." Q. How many years ago was that? "That was 18 years ago." "It's a photo from when they were in kindergarten." (Eldest son Fujiyama Kaifumi (18)) "It makes me happy to think that he kept all of it so carefully." (Announcer Sasaki Kazuma) "The chest of drawers containing the kimono is slowly coming into view. However, there is a great deal of wood scattered around it, so we are carefully removing it one by one." There is crumbled wood on top of the chest of drawers... three hours after they started searching. Finally... (Announcer Sasaki Kazuma) "We have now found the precious kimono we were looking for. The kimono will now be in Fujiyama's hands." (Eldest son Kaifumi) "Found it! Found it, this is it." (Father Ichifumi) "There's no doubt about it. Ah, thank goodness! This is it." He immediately reports this to Yoshiko. "Yes, this is it!" (eldest son, Kaishi) "I got my sister's furisode." "Thank you!" (Fujiyama Kazushi (57), who requested the service) "It brightens my gloomy mood, and it makes me want to try again, and it makes me feel like things will work out, so it has a very big impact on me." ■ "To those involved in the reconstruction" A step towards the reopening of the Wajima Lacquerware Inn A movement towards reconstruction has also begun. (Announcer Sasaki Kazuma) "In Wajima City, people have started moving into temporary housing. Here, disaster victims are preparing for life in the temporary housing." Oshita-san lived on Asaichi Street. He lost everything in the fire. Since that day, he has only taken a bath once. (Oshita Sumiko (76), living in temporary housing) "They've taken care of everything." Q. I can tell you're so happy when you see the bath. (Daughter Naomi (53)) "It's so nice..." Starting anew in temporary housing. At this accommodation facility in Wajima City... (Tanaka Koichi (60) of Oyado Tanaka) "Right now, we're tidying up the rooms and doing other little things in preparation for reopening." Founded 60 years ago, Oyado Tanaka is proud of its hot springs and seafood from Noto served in Wajima lacquerware. The building was able to withstand the violent shaking because it was renovated six years ago, but... as you can see, the bath, which they are so proud of, was torn off the wall of the room. Tanaka evacuated with the other guests at the time of the earthquake. This is footage he took at the time. It shows the devastation of Asaichi Street, engulfed in flames. (Tanaka Koichi) "There was nothing we could do, so all we could think was, was this area burning, was that area burning? I only had resentment about the fire at that time. I couldn't think about anything for about two weeks." After that, Tanaka-san slowly started to look forward. (Tanaka Koichi) "This wall fell down, so we had a local construction company fix it right away." They also repaired the roof tiles and replaced the tatami mats. (Tanaka Koichi) "After the roof tiles were installed and the tatami mats were mostly in place, it was about three weeks later, when we really started to look forward a little... and we started to work on reopening the inn in earnest." (Tanaka Koichi) "We wanted to do something for Wajima City and Noto. Since we are in the accommodation business, we thought that people who are coming to help with recovery and reconstruction would be happy if they could just stretch their legs and sleep..." During the interview, a person in charge of disaster relief from the National Social Welfare Council came to inquire about whether they could stay overnight. (National Social Welfare Council representative) "I was in the area so I thought I'd check it out." (Tanaka Koichi) "However, the water supply hasn't arrived yet, so once it does, you'll be able to take a bath and I think we'll be able to provide light meals..." (National Social Welfare Council representative) "We look forward to seeing you again." The inn is renting out rooms free of charge to disaster victims and those involved in the reconstruction effort. (Tanaka Koichi) "I think it's a little brighter now... If the lights from all over the place come together, they will become the light of Noto, so I hope that little by little they will become the light of reconstruction."
