What is the Flowers of Fukushima Mailbox?

About eleven years have passed since our region was struck by the Great East Earthquake, Tsunami and nuclear disaster. The number of new buildings has increased and many other signs of change can be seen in towns of Fukushima.

The scenery around us is rapidly changing, but in the midst of your daily life, have you experienced such moments that your feelings that has been buried deep inside, emotions you have been carrying for a long time, suddenly come welling up to the surface?

Caring for others in a variety of situations, there may be more and more thoughts which words cannot express, or we cannot easily share with others.

Amidst the beautiful natural surroundings of Fukushima, flowers have been a familiar presence from the past to present days. When you see them, a variety of thoughts and memories will certainly emerge.

When you are happy. When you are sad.
When you care for someone, or when you mourn for a loved one,
flowers are always close at hand.

Wherever you live, you have your own message for Fukushima.

The Flowers of Fukushima Mailbox was created to care for these messages.
