Phone of Wind: Phone Booth in Japan Where People Can Call the Dead
In 2011, an earthquake and tsunami tore through Japan. Almost 16,000 people died during the natural disaster and many communities across the country still have not recovered.
But one coastal Japanese town is dealing with its grief in a unique way—a white telephone booth with glass panels. The phone booth, which only has a disconnected rotary phone inside, has become a popular destination for residents who are still dealing with grief. It sits atop a grassy hill in Otsuchi, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
