In coastal Japan, Yasuo Takamatsu has spent nearly 15 years diving for the remains of his wife, Yuko, who was swept away in the 2011 tsunami. With on-location recording of Yasuo on his 763rd dive, this Heart and Soul documentary explores his search as an act of devotion shaped by Japanese ideals of grief, memory, and the power of nature. A profound story of love and loss, we reveal how one man鈥檚 repeated dives became a ritual of remembrance in a land where disaster is part of life. Presenter: Jake Warren Producer:: Leo Danczak Editor:: Macalister Bexon A Message Heard production for 麻豆社 World Service
