“At least the sea breezes are much more soothing than the hot, humid heat of Hong Kong” (4) “I struggled up and over the dune, then moved closer to the water, breathing in the salty air” (13) https://www.flickr.com/photos/ippei-janine/256415605/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ippei-janine/3506976724/in/set-72157600321338295

“With each stroke against the salty water, I felt a new surge of energy travel through my body” (14) “The coolness of the water felt good against my body. As I relaxed, a sense of freedom emerged which had been buried under my illness” (14) https://www.flickr.com/photos/ippei-janine/3506170351/in/set-72157600321338295 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ippei-janine/3506169747/in/set-72157600321338295

“Just then the first wave crashed over the fence, drenching us… the next was even more powerful” (52) “You were knocked out when you were thrown against the house by a wave” (54) http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article3881321.ece/alternates/s615/The-Village-Thats-Falling-Into-the-Sea.jpg http://www.azurseisme.com/Tsunami-english-version.html

“It’s always very beautiful after a storm. So calm and serene after the destruction.” (64) “A storm.. had destroyed much of the original Tarumi village… Only one fisherman stood up and refused to move anywhere else, believing the best fishing was right here.” (64) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rQAUShz-Ozc/STiT6W29XdI/AAAAAAAAARc/oRlRsB-0AnQ/s400/1a.jpg http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/2564713.stm

“Then she [Keiko] began to run to the sand dune, lifting her arms just enough so that her kimono sleeves flapped gracefully through the air like wings” (113) “I can feel the cold waves pushing and pulling against my legs” (137) http://viper007bond.deviantart.com/art/Sand-Dune-And-The-Ocean-522083 http://www.freq245.com/blog/?lang_pref=en&paged=4

“I ran and ran, away from the beach and all the death and dying” (137) “I must return to the sea now. My life as I knew it is over now” (147) http://iansommerville.com/photoblog/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing_sand

“I swim in the warm mist, and sometimes I stay submerged under the water when it begins to rain, watching the drops dance on the surface like fingers touching the skin” (170) “At school I could only watch friends swim, play basketball, and cricket” (186) http://plinth.co/gibbes-museum-art/ http://plinth.co/gibbes-museum-art/

“There was a kind of sadness in the air, the smell of saltwater mixed with the decaying flowers and fallen fruits.” (194) “The sea came in a flurry of small waves, rolling in white and furious” (195) http://spacenarwhalgraphics.wordpress.com/category/graphics/page/2/ http://www.iheartjapan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/japan-beach1.jpg
