“Spiral Coast” (2009-2014) By Lieko Shiga. Scanned by me.“
"Spiral Coast” began as a project focusing on the rura traditions of the coastal Kitakama community. Unfortunately In 2011 an earthquake and the following tsunami buried the small town, taking 60 lives and even Shiga’s photo studio, along with most of her photos. And so, Shiga continued her project by capturing the aftermath of the tsunami in the following years. Focusing on their rebuilding, mourning, and the ultimate impact of the natural disaster.“
