2024年地震和海啸发生两年后，日本能登半岛的陶工们通过复兴受灾严重的传统陶艺珠洲烧，找回了人生目标。
珠洲烧是石川县能登半岛的一种陶器风格，它经历了两次生存危机：15世纪晚期消失后于1970年代被重新发现并复兴，如今又面临从现代灾难中恢复。
2024年1月1日，地震和海啸袭击了奥能登，摧毁了珠洲所有的22座窑炉。持续的余震使重建变得困难且昂贵。多年积累的陶器被毁，既造成经济损失，也带来情感创伤。像许多居民一样，陶工们搬到临时住房，并为是否在巨大的人员和经济损失中坚持而挣扎。
“当时真的是非常艰难的时期，”52岁的陶工宫胁真由美说。“很多人死了，包括我的朋友。大家都在挣扎。我想，这不是担心珠洲烧的时候。”
两年后，即2026年，这些陶工们继续他们的手艺，在废墟和不确定性面前重新发现目标，象征着守护能登传统遗产的韧性。

Many evacuees from Fukushima Prefecture hesitate to return to their hometowns devastated by the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident due to anxiety over a lack of medical services. The number of medical institutions in the prefecture has dropped from 132 to 47 since the disaster. More than half of the pre-disaster population in Futaba District remains outside their hometowns, even though evacuation orders have been lifted in most areas.
