The third event was held in Tokyo for the first time. Masako Konno, a storyteller from Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima, affectionately known as "Masako Baba" by the children, shared stories of the old days with children who had evacuated to Tokyo, based on the accounts of more than 100 elderly people.
Poet Ryoichi Wago also read from his masterpieces "Determination" and "Ask the Tree" and gave a creative kagura performance to pray for the repose and rebirth of the souls of the Tohoku region.
