Here We Will Return to Dust
The villagers of Itsukimura in Kyushu were evicted to make way for a dam. One couple, the Ogatas, refused to leave, staying behind to tend their ancestors’ graves, which lay under an ancient gingko tree. Eventually, the authorities decided to relocate the graveyard and the tree above the flood line. They lopped off the tree’s branches and cut its roots. The project, however, was suddenly halted. Through it all, the Ogatas continued to live in the abandoned village and farm their land. This is a powerful record in text and photos of the destruction of nature and local life for the sake of a dam. <Doi>
