ーThe Jeans Produced by Oikawa Denim as a Symbol of Recovery
The city of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, sus- tained devastating loss in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, as well as the terrible fire that followed. This book depicts the disaster and recovery through the eyes of a woman, Hideko Oikawa. Just when she had managed to get her jeans manufacturing business on course after losing her husband and going through a recession, the quake struck. She lost her warehouse and her house in the subsequent tsunami. Oikawa turned her factory into an evacuation site and became a leader in the recovery effort. Her new ideas and the resilience of Tohoku people have made Oikawa Denim an internationally respected brand. (Sakuma)
