In the center is Sadafumi Uchiyama, a resident of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon, who is arranging to return a battered torii piece bearing Takahashi's name as one of the donors that washed up on the Oregon coast. In the background is a new torii gate built after the tsunami disaster. (Kyodo)
