Continuing with more snapshots from Hitachi, this time of my mother-in-law, who was born and raised there. In the first image, she is standing on the site of the house she grew up in, a company house rented from Hitachi Mine, who her father worked for. The house was razed many many years ago. The second photo was taken at the location of her old elementary school, and the third across the street from one of the Mine’s old complexes. While I was taking some pictures she went up an embankment and pulled these stalks out of the ground and started munching on them, like a kid.
