The Rias Ark Museum of Art exhibit, "Records of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the history of tsunami disasters," advocates for the importance of recognizing the man-made aspects of tsunami disasters which stem from the historical, cultural, and social factors that existed in the devastated communities, and how the disasters may have been affected in scale due to such factors. Instead of focusing on the "fight against natural disasters," we strive to communicate the possibility of a lifestyle centered on "sharing the global environment," and help visitors to learn about a lifestyle that is not necessarily centered around disaster prevention structures. Through such efforts, we hope such new values will be instilled in the visitors as well as spur thought towards future exhibits that place importance on cultural advancement.
