I found a shard of pottery that the tsunami had left stranded in the empty lot in front of our house. It was tannish in color and one-fourth of what looked like a yellow yuzu fruit. Excited, I pocketed it knowing that there were good things in store for this piece of ceramic.
Today I visited the Nozomi Project; a group of women collecting broken pieces of ceramic around Ishinomaki and turning them into beautiful jewelry as well as a livelihood for them and their families. The women were friendly, funny, and accommodating. I passed the piece of pottery I found over to them and have no doubt that they will turn the piece from something broken to something whole and beautiful.
