About Otsuchi Dëschluucht

Otsuchi ass eng Dëschluucht aus Hirschlieder, dat aus Otsuchi, Iwate, Japan staamt. D'Stad gouf vum Tsunami getraff, deen duerch dat Grousst Ostjapanescht Äerdbiewen vun 2011 ausgeléist gouf. Lokal Kulturen goufe spéider beschiedegt, well d'Zuel vun den Hirschen eropgaangen an d'Zuel vun den Awunner erofgaangen ass. Lokal Jeeër hunn e Wëldfleesch-Geschäft gestart, fir déi als Schuedwëld gejote Hirschen ze notzen. D'Luucht ass aus enger 3D-gedréckter Struktur opgebaut, déi mat Hirschlieder iwwerzunn ass, an d'Textur erënnert un d'Form vun engem liewegen Déier. Den Design éiert d'Liewe vum Hirsch a bitt eng roueg Präsenz.
