Due to the massive tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake, everything was swept away, carried to rivers and the sea, and the beautiful green Takata-Matsubara pine forest was completely gone, leaving only one pine tree. The remaining single pine tree is said to be very tall, reaching 27 meters. The beach overlooking the pine forest stretches endlessly, and the waves that come and go remind us of the impermanence of the world, bringing tears to our eyes. The lone pine tree, looking down on us as we came to pay our respects, stood resolutely, accepting the flow of impermanence, a solitary figure determined to protect Rikuzentakata even when alone. The feelings of that day are entrusted to this song, "One Pine Tree."
