A man whose wife remains missing following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami has made about 600 dives to search for her, inspiring a French composer to write a piano piece based on their "love story."
On March 11, 2011, a massive tsunami approximately 20 meters high hit the building of the Onagawa branch of the 77 Bank in Miyagi Prefecture, killing four employees and leaving eight missing. Bank worker Yuko Takamatsu, then 47, evacuated to the roof of the two-story building, but was swept away. Her whereabouts remain unknown.
