\"Capture\"<\/p>\n

In news from Melbourne, a violin made almost entirely from the debris left by the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami will be featured in a\u00a0 concert commemorating the 7th anniversary of the disaster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The debris used to make the violin was collected on the seashore of Rikuzen Takata, one of the areas devastated by the tsunami.<\/p>\n

Artwork featured on the violin represents the instrument\u2019s sound post, which is made of timber from the almost 280-year-old\u00a0kisekino ipponmatsu,\u00a0<\/em>or the miraculous lone pine tree, the only survivor out of 70,000 pine trees on a two kilometre coastal line.<\/p>\n

University of Melbourne Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies Dr Jun Ohashi said the instrument will be on loan from Japan for\u00a0Resonance: A Tsunami Violin Concert<\/em>\u00a0as a reminder that many people are still suffering from the disaster and in need of assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tsunami violin may evoke images, emotions and memories of great loss, but it is a symbol of resilience and hope,\u201d Dr Ohashi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concert is also a reminder of the very strong bond between Australia and Japan,\u201d he said. “The Australian government was quick to send a rescue team and food and donated generously through the Australian Red Cross and Pacific Disaster Appeal. In addition, very strong links between the people of Australia and Japan were evident during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Resonance: A Tsunami Violin Concert<\/em>\u00a0will be performed at Melba Hall on Friday 16 March as part of the\u00a0Centenary of Japanese Language\u00a0at the University of Melbourne. All income from tickets purchased will go to the Rikuzen Takata city scholarship program, which help students who have financial difficulties to continue learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
