In March of 2011 a tsunami struck Japan resulting in the deaths of 20,000 people. To help cope with the trauma and grief, a wind phone was placed along the water's edge. A wind phone is a pay phone that's not connected with phone lines. They're meant to be spaces where people can have conversations with the departed to help with the grieving process.
