My example is a literal comeback, not a cultural
comeback.
Boy’s ball drifted in the
Pacific after 3.11 Tsunami was made a comeback to him.
It drifted to Alaska seashore after 3.11 Tsunami. The owner, a
junior high school boy, said "happy" on 22th Apr, 2012. The soccer ball was found in the U.S.
Alaska away from 5 thousands kilometers or more. The owner was Misaki Murakami, a
high school boy who lives in Rikuzentakata in Iwate Prefecture.
The ball was found at the coast of
Middleton Island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Alaska. Apparently, it was the first case to return to the owner what was washed
away by the tsunami.
There was written "From Osabe elementary
school 3rd grade, Mar, 2005"on the ball and lined up the names "Yuki", "Akinori" and "Shunsuke" as
their words of good wishes. When Misaki transferred to another
elementary school at the time, it was the full-hearted gift from
classmates. He said he lost all of his belongings by the tsunami, but he was very surprised and pleased to meet his memorial soccer ball again.
I was very impressed by the news and warm-hearted communication
over the Pacific.
This is a nice story of some happy news. I wonder what else has drifted back to Japan that people lost and missed a lot.
