Entry Description

When one year passed after 3.11 Japan earthquake and Tsunami, they started professional wrestling events. Why pro wrestling? They wanted to cheer for people, make them smile, touch deeply their heart by showing what they can do. The theme of the events is the recovery and reconstruction from 3.11 Earthquake. After 3.11, 2011, many Japanese felt they are helpless, and wondered if their job is useful. So are photographers. I'm still seeking the answers. I hope my pictures also touch people's heart.
