WATCH: Tsunami Violin − The sound of remembering

In 2011, violin maker Nakazawa Muneyuki and his musician wife Kimiko were deeply moved by TV images of the wreckage and uprooted trees left by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Nakazawa decided to make a violin using wood salvaged from the place hardest hit by the tsunami, Rikuzentakata in Iwate.

For his sound post, the part that determines the violin's tone, he chose a twig from the Miracle Pine - the only tree left standing there by the tsunami.
