On the 11th of March, 2011, Yasuo Takamatsu lost his wife to the tsunami during the Great East Japan earthquake. Since that day, he has been diving in the sea every week in search of her. Compelled and inspired to share his story, I Want To Go Home is a journey from Singapore to Onagawa through the lens of those intrigued to meet him. It explores unlikely friendships across borders and languages, sharing a man’s loss, recovery, and determination to reunite with his wife. The novel's feature film, also titled I Want To Go Home, was selected for the 2017 Busan International Film Festival. This book includes a Japanese translation by Miki Hawkinson.
