For the 2nd session of A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation we were honored to welcome Pr. Takenori Miyamoto (Tohoku University of Art and Design as Museum). He delivered a lecture entitled “Joint Actions of University Faculty and Students in the Aftermath of Catastrophe.” He quoted the saying ‘Dig under your feet and you will find a source’ to express the sentiment that the hardships faced by disaster victims are also one’s own. Miyamoto’s words fostered a constructive discussion concerning the future leadership goals of the CR Project.

A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation, 1st session
At last, A Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation has begun!
During this weekly series we will invite guests to speak about post-disaster reconstruction.
For the first session we were honored to welcome Norio Nakamura and Shigeo Nishiuchi, residents who had to evacuate Futaba and now live in Tsukuba. Mr. Nakamura described his experience of nearly drowning in the wave of the tsunami and Mr. Nishiuchi outlined the chronology of the nuclear accident at Fukushima through related newspaper articles and other media. The students listened intently to their heartfelt and unique testimonies.
Report on the Art Project in collaboration with the Ishigenishi Junior High School, Joso City
Report on the Art Project in collaboration with the Ishigenishi Junior High School
We are pursuing our art project in conjunction with the Ishigenishi Junior High School. The school itself was bulldozed following the disaster and now operates out of a prefab building. As one aspect of this project, we headed to the Ishigenishi School during the summer holidays in order to organize a workshop on plastic arts. The report is as follows:
Thursday July 26th, 2012
8:30 – 16:30
Location: Joso Municipal Ishigenishi Junior High School, Prefab school, Art classroom
Participants: 26 students of the Ishigenishi School, Art department / 1 art teacher
10 students of the University of Tsukuba, Art department / 2 professors
Project Details:
(1) Creation of artworks by encapsulating in resin small objects found in the old school building
(2) Fabrication of wall-mounted magnets reusing hooks from the hallway of the old school building
We think the pupils were happy. The workshop went smoothly because we planned out the process and prepared the materials and tools ahead of time. We benefited from the help of the students of University of Tsukuba starting from the preparation stage, but on the day of the workshop, they got along very well with the pupils and really did a good job. The creations will be exhibited for the University of Tsukuba School Festival (October 6th to 8th) and for the Ishigenishi School festival (October 27th). (Sasamoto)

Research on Hojo, Tsukuba City
The team in charge of the Hojo area began their fieldwork.
Their unit discussed architecture and design with Pr. Ando, who has been working on construction projects in Hojo. They also interviewed local representatives about the history of Hojo and the tornado’s impact.
After examining warehouses that were damaged by the earthquake and tornado the group was able to analyze the actions taken in the aftermath and hear about how they plan on continuing their efforts.
Thanks to this investigation the researchers were made aware of the true hopes and fears of disaster victims. Based on these experiences the Hojo team will review options regarding proper disaster response procedures in the affected areas. (Kataoka)

Hinode Junior High School Meeting
October 17, 2012
The members in charge of the Itako area convened at the university to hold a debriefing session on the situation in the Hinode district and exchanged opinions about the investigation. On October 24th, the team traveled there to have a meeting with the faculty of the junior high school. It was an occasion to discuss the concrete objectives of collaboration between the school and the university as well as to update everyone on the real condition of the area. This meeting proved to be the origin of a deep reflection on the attainable goals of the project.
We also took a look at the surrounding environs of Hinode. Here and there, construction was taking place to repair damages from the liquefaction phenomenon — however, it seemed to us that there is still a great amount of time and progress before the area would return to the way it appeared prior to the disaster.
