The president of a Japanese commercial fishing business says he’d like to bring a large blue bin found off of Waimanalo last week back to Japan but is unable to because the company is just beginning to rebuild.
The fishing box is the first confirmed piece of tsunami debris to reach Hawaii from Japan.
The president of YK Suisan Fish Company says the discovery of the box is bittersweet.
"I am amazed that it went as far as America, as far as Hawaii!" said Yoshiyaki Kimura, YK Suisan Japan. "That really shows the power and spirt of nature. When you stop and think about the power of nature humans seems so small. Our power is so small."
The company reopened this month with 35 workers.
It had 120 employees before the tsunami hit.
