The Phone of the Wind, which sits in a garden on top of a hill in the Japanese town of Otsuchi, is now known for helping people do with sadness.
The Phone of the Wind is a white telephone booth(电话亭)，which was made by Itaru Sasaki, a garden designer. In 2010, Sasaki put the phone in his garden as a way to speak to his cousin who died many years ago. Sasaki felt as if he could connect(联系) with his cousin through the phone although the phone inside the booth was disconnected. "Because my thoughts couldn't be taken over a common phone, I wanted them to be taken by the wind," he said.
In 2011, a tsunami(海啸) hit northeastern Japan and killed over 1, 500 people in Otsuchi. To help the many people who had lost family members or friends in the tsunami, Sasaki decided to ____▲____. The phone gave people a chance to say all the things they never got a chance to say to their loved ones. A notebook could also be found inside the booth in which people could write messages for their loved ones. Since then, the telephone booth has helped thousands of people get through the hardest time.
Sasaki's Phone of the Wind has inspired others around the world. In 2017. Altruchas, an artist in California USA, made a phone after his friend and 35 others died in a fire. Earlier in 2021, a similar phone was put on Colorado's Aspen Mountain for people who lost loved ones because of the COVID-19.
"Loss is a natural part of the human experience. When we lose someone close to us, it makes us miss them for the rest of our lives," said Altruchas, "Sasaki's Phone of the Wind does help make it a little bit easier to overcome our sadness."
