Four months after the Disaster

Today, just four months have passed from the Disaster.

Fortunately my life has recovered fully.

But the areas where Tsunamis attacked are still damaged.

The pace of recovery is relatively slow.

Many people who lived in Tsunami damaged areas can't find their new jobs.

Two months passed from the disaster

Two months passed from the disaster.

I feel it's too long, but simultaneously I feel it's too short.

Around us, we can spend the days as same as we did before the disaster.
But many shops, especially large shops such as shopping malls, are still closed,
because the buildings damaged severely.


But seaside areas are still damaged, the evaquees' life is far from recovery.

14,949 peoples were killed by the disaster, and 9880 peoples were still missing.
So nearly 25,000 peoples were victimized by the disaster.

Some hundreds thousands peoples lost their jobs.

And until now more than 120,000 peoples live in the shelters.


Many peoples still need helps.

Child's Day in Japan

In Japan, 5th May is the "Child's Day (子どもの日）".

But at least 132 children lost both their father and mothe by the disaster.

And we can't count how many children lost their parent, relatives, and friends.

I really wish they get happy days as soon as possible.

We recover our daily life, but severely damaged areas are far from recovery.

Symbol poster for recovery

Miyage prefecture made a symbol poster for recovery.

"復興へ頑張ろう" means " Do it for recovery" or "bear up under disaster".
"みやぎ" is "Miyagi", our prefectre.

Temporary houses

Because of Tsunamis many people lost their houses.

Just after disaster more than 360,000 people escaped to shelters.

Although one month has passed, there are more than 143,000 people in shelters.

So temporary houses are actually necessary for them.

More than 46,000 temporary houses are necessary, but it's quite difficult to find enough places for construction of temporary houses.

In my town 40 temporary houses is now constructing.



Today, cherry blossoms are just blooming in Sendai.

Uhm.... spring just has come.

We are bored with earthquakes

After 3.11 disaster, we have had TOOOOOOO many earthquakes of after-shocks.

Today just one month has passed from disaster, we have more than 16,000 earthquakes since 3.11.


We are really bored with earthquakes !

Tsunami no BAKA !!

Yesterday I found this message board.

"つなみのバカ (Tsunami no Baka)" means "Shit ! Tsunami" or "You're stupid, Tsunami!".

I can't agree with it more !


But we're not LOOSER !!
