Project descrip­tion

” Stone memo­r­i­al in ISHI­NO­MA­KI (Ishi-no-kinen­­do) “,stands on a hill­side in Ishi­no­ma­ki, Miya­gi, is built as a space where peo­ple pray for the near­ly 18,000 peo­ple miss­ing and died in Japan Earthquake.The num­ber of lam­i­nat­ed stones rep­re­sent that of vic­tims, and vis­i­tors can think of each of the vic­tims as well as the entire east area of Japan.The shape of the pray space, which was made of local­­ly-pro­­duced stone and mir­rored stain­less, indi­cates heav­i­ly affect­ed areas so that vis­i­tors nat­u­ral­ly stand and pray toward them.laminated stone space is also aimed to mem­o­rize the fact of this major dis­as­ter and go down to future generations.
