The market is the same as it was before the earthquake, and it's no different from that day. Nothing really makes you imagine whether this place was destroyed by a tsunami. It seems that there was an auction today as well. I'm relieved, but some of the people who work here may have died or their homes have been destroyed. It's a peaceful-looking landscape, but people seem to be living up to endure sadness.

市場は震災前に見たときと同じで、あの日となんだ変わらない。本当にこの場所が津波に破壊されたのか、その形跡すら見当たらない。今日も競りがあったようだ。なんとなく安心するものの、関係者の中には亡くなった方や家が被災した方もいることだろう。表向きは平穏そうに見えるが心の傷の深さは想像に余る。
