Giant puppet from Tohoku arrives in Tokyo A giant puppet named Mocco has arrived in Tokyo carrying messages from the Tohoku region in northeastern Japan.
The puppet which is about 10 meters tall has toured the prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima. They were hit hard by the earthquakes and tsunami in 2011.
Mocco collected messages from the area which were read on Saturday at an event at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo. No audience was allowed for the event.
One of the messages talks of hope that people of the world share the effort and hardship of the disaster-hit area.
