Kochi: Stone Stacks Helping Stroke Patient's Road to Recovery - The Japan News
the coastline along more than 100 meters of a bicycle path on an
embankment that stretches from a fishing port in the city of Aki.
These stone stacks are actually a form of rehabilitation for Morimi
Nagano, who has suffered two strokes. He began stacking in March to help
regain movement in his fingers.
Nagano, 64, initially used building blocks at home as part of his
rehabilitation. However, he had become quite inactive after injuring
both knees in the summer of 2021, and was concerned at the weight he was
gaining, especially around his belly. At his doctor’s recommendation,
Nagano began going for long walks early in the morning. During one of
these walks, the stones on the beach caught his eye — and inspired him
to start stacking.
Nagano has been good with his hands since he was a child and found that
the more he stacked stones, the more his enjoyment grew. He has even
built stacks made with over 60 stones. The delicately balanced piles of
rocks are striking, and some passersby even take photos of his
creations. Although the piles frequently topple, Nagano has not lost
heart. He intends to continue stacking stones because it brings him joy
and is part of his return to full health.
