| EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI |
|
This is one kind of sadness of human era,
yet this is by all
natural power of earth
(except Fukushima
nuclear power plant). One
can be wise if possible
to learn the same
wisdom as those
people who actually
faced the event seen
on Youtube. Some words
you may catch/hear
is translated into English
hereunder.
Asakusa has only minor damage in limited
nubmer of old wooden house. Bay area, mainly
Urayasu, got liquefaction (liquid type of
dirt comes up from underneath, which is not
due to drain damage). 30km north of downtown
Tokyo, say Omiya, has their Japanese style
roof (kawara-yane) fell off. |

| When something sad, terrible, difficult happened
to us, we tend to think it is not fair. But
in the end, what end? we have to use our
most careful thoughtful mind to consider,
probably it takes 10 years or even 30 years
to understand, but in the end, it pays off.
All burdens we experience look like unnecessary
items at the moment, but it surely will change
its shape becoming food of our soul/heart.
Only wise person can learn this life-theory
from someone's experience, but if you were
crying over someone's sadness, if you felt
worry for someone's facing difficulties,
you are the one. All 7 billions people are
no difference to us ourselves. Thanks for
all the kind passion and compassion. |

| Who says that Japan is unique country? Only
the country which became this rich in culture
after being destroyed down to zero (WW2)?
All the nation and all the area around the
world is the same. Despite location, era,
sex, age, belief, financial or whatever status,
single or married, single-parent or lost-both-parents,
job or jobless, with paper or without, if
we could hang in there with our teeth gritted,
yes, endurance we need to overcome all the
difficulties, hopefully with vision of love
and vision of peace in full color in each
of our brains, we can reach there in the
end. Good example drama is Oshin if you had spare time. |

| OK (^_^) maybe it sounds like joke, but if
you need a personal shelter capsule, Noah or Hakobune is the life saver when earthquake or tsunami
happened. Be careful, though, when fire occurs! |

| Fukushima Daiichi (Number One) Nuclear Power
Plant Live Camera can be seen at this page, sometime worker warning us and workers posing for nice shot (taking photo), smoke! and flying birds! could be caught
in the screen. |
| Worries a lot since you know someone here
in Japan? You may check most updated earthquake
report at Kishocho (Meteological Agency). |
|
| Tokyo is trying to control the usage of electric
power especially in hot summer days. So far
no sudden black-out (power shortage) happened
yet, but it is said to be safe and stable
if not exceeded 95 percent (consumption/supply)
which you may check this page every hour every day. We are noticing that
these recent year has green-house phenomenon
which makes whole 3 months of June-July-August
somewhat August-August-August (super hot
months!). TEPCO's stock fell to 1/10th one
time (JPY2,000 => JPY200). |
|
| Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science
and Technology (MEXT) is monitoring the figure/number of radioactivity
level in every prefecture (state), and it
looks like some places are worse than Chernobyl.
Have to listen your own heart, not always
(many times?) government is right. MAFF (Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) disclosed
the red zone (dead zone?) at this page. |
|
| Better not to stay long in this area, please. But our relatives are there living
for this long even after the leak of Fukushima
nuclear plants, saying their life (including
ancestors and spirits) is based there in
Fukushima, very Japanese way of viewing the
fact. |
|
| Ikebukuro Bosaikan has facilities called Earthquake Simulation
Section where you can experience the great
mega giant earthquake similar or more JMA
(Japanese Meteorological Agency) Seismic
Intensity of March 11th, 2011. Are you ready?
There is a direct bus service (TOEI BUS)
#63 and #64 from Asakusa to Ikebukuro. http://www.tfd.metro.tokyo.jp/hp-ikbskan/index.html |
