Japan’s telephone to the dead
In the town of Otsuchi in northern Japan, 2,000 residents were lost in the 2011 tsunami.
One resident, who had already been grieving his cousin before the tsunami hit, had the idea of placing an old, disconnected phone booth at the bottom of his garden.
He would ring his cousin’s number and his words would "be carried on the wind" as he spoke to him.
After the tsunami hit, word about the wind phone spread and many people have come to call those they have lost.
