Osaka, Japan
Spring 1994
I am frequently drawn to this photo. It was taken in the spring of 1994. We were in Osaka, Japan and it was a beautiful day. It was warm and sunny. There was a boy scout parade to honor Buddha so lots of families wandered around and chatted with us as best we could with such distinct language barriers.
A few months later, there was an earthquake in this region. People were killed and homes were destroyed. It must have been a time of great sadness. Such a different moment from my experience. I wonder if this family suffered from this horrific event?
