Last year’s earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan left countless individuals separated from their possessions, including family photos. The Japanese town of Ofunato has set up a hub where people can come to search through piles of salvaged pictures with the hope of finding their own. Satako Kinno is a paper conservationist leading the effort. It seems like a minor gesture, but is no doubt significant in the eyes of a tsunami survivor. [Youtube via International Business Times]
