In Japan, Tomoharu and Miki decided to separate after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The disasters forced them to rethink their differences in their values. Eventually, they chose to divorce. At the divorce ceremony, they use a hammer to smash their wedding ring, which symbolize the end of their 13 years marriage. Pay attention to the hammer they use. A guy commented on the news “That's the dumbest looking frog hammer that I've ever seen. What's up with that?! (Actually, that is the ONLY frog hammer that I've ever seen.) Perhaps it symbolized how the marriage croaked.”
