Since September 26, Aoba Ward has held a “Morning Market” featuring special products from Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. Although the area has been hit hard by recent heavy rains, residents of Wajima hold a morning market to show their enthusiasm. Wajima Morning Market, located in front of Fujisaki Department Store in Aoba Ward, Sendai City, opened on the 26th to support recovery from the earthquake in the Noto Peninsula. Reporter: “The Wajima morning market is full of aspirations for recovery. Many of Wajima’s signature products, such as Wajima lacquerware and seafood, are displayed here.” Wajima Morning Market is a traditional morning market that has been around for 1400 years. An earthquake and fire made it difficult to hold the event locally, so we traveled to different parts of the country and this was the first time the event was held in Tohoku. The other day, some stores were damaged by heavy rain and they were considering canceling the event, but decided to hold it now because they wanted to convey Wajima’s enthusiasm. Yoshie Minamiya, president of Yoshie Minamiya Shoten, said, “We are all doing our best to spread the word so that people across the country can support Wajima.” Visitor: “There was an earthquake, there was a flood. , and we suffer a lot. I hope the city will recover and regain its beautiful scenery and vitality.” The Wajima Morning Market will be open until September 28.
