• Photographer
  Naoki Fujihara, Japan

This photography is a night view of Kobe City in
Japan.

In 1995, a huge earthquake hit this place. Over
6000 people were sacrificed, and lots of buildings
and houses were collapsed.

But Kobe City was revived and became one of the
major night view place in Japan.

Geographically, lots of earthquakes occurred in
Japan. But people struggled to get up every time
earthquakes occurred. This scenery is a result of
that many people struggled for rebirth.
