"Every day on TV and in the newspapers reported about the crash, and I could not remain indifferent to this - says Hiroko Amano. - My heart sank even further when the news is broadcast only the bare facts, and immediately "forgotten" in the program. I decided that people should remember this. After collecting photos from the scene of the tragedy, I tried using embroidery to express the pain and sorrow of the people. When I embroidered image of a man worried about him mentally. When portrayed a girl who at the time of the tsunami lost my mom, I imagined myself sitting next to her and comforted her. At work I myself gradually calmed down.
