I've decided to make a memorial quilt with last mourning hearts. Today I've done a piece like this. As you may see, this is a map of east coast line of Tohoku Region where was affected by quake, tsunami and nu-clear plant accident.
Two red beads shows the hypocenter and nu-clear plant. I put pearl beads as cities/towns. Three flower beads shows three cities where local goverment offices are; from top, Morioka (Iwate prefecture), Sendai (Miyagi prefecture), Fukushima (Fukushima prefecture).

This will be a wonderful tribute, Hideko! My heart aches with knowing all you are going through right now. I do hope that the exhibit we are putting together will be helpful to your country....
