-"The images of Japan that flooded the media after the disaster were hugely upsetting; People terrified and displaced among the destruction of their homes. But incredible stories of bravery, humanity, and triumph emerged, too. Like those stories, cicadas are a symbol of re-birth. In Japan specifically, their sound signifies the summer season as they emerge from the ground to sing, re-born."-Meghan Jean Kinder
