Lastly, I read about the Tohoku Emotion train, introduced in 2013 and running the length of the Hachinohe line of the Sanriku coast. It was established as one part of the regeneration and revitalisation efforts in Tohoku, with train carriage interiors taking inspiration from h area of the region, including sashikori textiles from Fukushima, gokin-zashi stitching from Aomori and nambu ironware from Iwate.
