Unattended vegetables stands dot the road from White Beach Hotel to the main intersection in Kisami. Little wooden stands, or even just a cement step display vegetables picked just that morning in the nearby garden. Beautiful globes of onions tied together with truncated stems, fresh bundles of slender green onions, and small bags of tender snow peas are offered for sale. One stand had bags of dried daikon for 100 yen. A homemade wooden money box, closed with a padlock and fixed to the stand, collects payment from honest buyers. Yesterday, about ten large heads of cabbage were available to anyone who wanted them. I stopped at a stand and bought some snow peas for snacking. I noticed later that a sign on the stand acknowledged the devastation due to the Tohoku earthquake and asked everyone to cooperate together and provided a box decorated with a stripped ribbon for donations.
