At 14:46, seemingly everyone observed one minute of silence in honor of tolls of the last year's devastating disaster wherever you go. We thought one year's ago that we'd reconstructed well, but... reality is we are struggling with plenty of problems, then it's like no proceeding.. In the huge city like Tokyo, life got normal and the inhabitants are looked forgetting about the north. However, there's no short-cut and we need keeping up, instead of all grief .
Mourning for all the people who lost their lives.

Still Crazy
After 311, one of the biggest earthquake hit in history, Japan got a lot of problems one after another. And these problems seem never solved. Especially, nuclear plants and radiation threats. However, "LIFE GOSE ON" anyway and people get used any pain somehow.A photographer, Taishi Hirokawa, has been taking photos of "nuclear plants" in Japan as the landscapes. Then, he published a book called "Still Crazy - nuclear power plants as seen in Japanese landscapes" in 1994.
Actually, building nuclear plant is a huge business for Japan as the top bland.As he said, if it's really Japanese landscapes, we had to think it much more before it's too late to fix it. But, I think we still have time to do it and change it. I just reckon it at this time around the annual Japanese Remembrance Day and Hiroshima-Nagasaki.
