Sakura bloom even in difficulties

I cannot believe that about a month passed since the awful earthquake and tsunami struck north-east Japan. And we are still facing the nuclear disaster... Few days ago, there was a big aftershock in Miyagi prefecture. Which was M 7.4! Can you believe that? The major earthquake that struck Kansai area in 1995, was M 7.3. Then last week's aftershock was stronger than the major earthquake in Kansai in 1995.

On Saturday, we got another secondary disaster occurred in Kesennuma(気仙沼) area. There was an abandoned gold mine site near Kesennuma. After the tsunami struck around there, the soil which include arsenic slipped out from the mine site. According to the news, the local government checked some water sources and found arsenic (maximum 0.24 milligrams per 1 litre.) which is 24 times higher than environmental standards. Also in the news, it's not effect to human health if we don't drink it directly. But I hope this disaster will solve rapidly.

There are still many sad news on newspapers, radios, TVs, websites and etc. But the spring is coming to Japan. I walked around my house today. And I found there were many cherry trees. Mostly they are blooming! Today, I will post some photos that I took today. 














Thank you.
