一本松 A Single Tree Survived

After the devastating 'tsunami,' a single pine tree remained alive for more than a year. But as sea water damaged its root, the community nearby of Northern Japan gave up the idea of protecting the tree. From its seeds people try to take over this strong tree's life into future. (The pictures are taken from Asahi Newspaper. A correspondent's name, Atsushi Yamanishi, is given in the photo article.)
