■Comment from Michihiko Kashiuchi, Creative Director, Fukushima Prefecture
“Fukushima: Ambassadors I didn’t know” Mayu Matsuoka’s “I didn’t know” decreases one by one.
He visits various present and stands on the land, meets people, and touches the heart. Mr. Matsuoka seems to be an ambassador who knows Fukushima before long.
It’s not too late yet. From the door that Mr. Matsuoka opened, everyone all over the country should come to know the present of Fukushima.
