Yasuo Takamatsu has spent more than ten years looking for his wife Yuko's remains in order to lay her to rest. The search began after the Japan tsunami in 2011 which affected the area of Fukushima. Now in the years since, Takamatsu dives weekly and has done for over a decade to see if he can find her body. Despite various searches, there has been little other clue of where Yuko's body could be but Takamatsu holds out hope After searching on land for two and a half years, the then-56-year-old started taking diving lessons in September 2013. While he didn't find learning to dive easy, the devoted husband has explained that he's motivated by wanting to find her body Takamatsu dives alongside the help of a diving instructor, Masayoshi Takahashi. Takahashi leads volunteer dives to look for missing tsunami victims and has been helping Takamatsu In an interview for short film 'The Diver', Takamatsu explained: "I do want to find her, but I also feel that she may never be discovered as the ocean is way too vast – but I have to keep looking. submitted by /u/ShaanJohari1 to r/Damnthatsinteresting |
