Photo / Mikinee, CCIn a garden on the edge of Otsuchi Northern Japan is a white phone booth. In spite of having no wired connection, and sitting in an area of perfect cellphone reception, the booth attracts 10,000 visitors a year. It was an eccentric gesture, but one that would find connection with other residents in Otsuchi when a shared tragedy struck. Just months later the port town would be hit by the 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami.
