The Tsunami Violin — made almost entirely from debris left by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami — came to Melbourne in 2018 for a concert marking the seventh anniversary of the disaster. Carrying the memories and emotions of the Tohoku region, it continues to share its story with audiences around the world. This story was first published in 2018.
