東日本大震災によせて【シリーズ10-line】:ピンクのろうそく



It's amazing that almost twenty years are passing...
I moved to Kobe to go on to college and witnessed the city under reconstruction after the earthquake diaster.
As an ex-resident in the stricken area, for five years or so, I attend to one of the memorial ceremonies held nearby where I can go to the most easily.
This time, I could talk with one of the organizers who experienced the earthquake disaster in Kobe.
She told me about her experience back then, and how she came up with the idea of this local memorial event.
After 3.11 earthquake, she once made a proposal of this idea about memorial event in the stricken area, but at that time, people at the spot declined;
They said it was still hard for them to face the fact that they have to carry on living for future -she said that at least it might wait for five years or so.
Also, this local memorial ceremony might be ended next year to achieve an emotional closure of sorts.

About half year after the 3.11 earthquake disaster, my new friend from the stricken prefecture was suffering from stress disorder -and recovered later.
At the same time, we have to pass down lessons from this disaster.
.
Then, it's a matter of what to broadcast, I suppose; instead of broadcasting motion pictures back then again and again, the most important thing is to put emphasis on measures against natural disasters for future from now on , isn't it?
Even if just the threat of next massive earthquakes is reported, it only spreads despair instead of promoting disaster countermeasure
-I also have felt that, and as I was wondering what to place today, I found an important indication; local revitalization and disaster countermeasure are inextricably linked together .
Come to think of it...in this earthquake disaster, there was no tsunami -things could be much worse if tsunamis had destroyed the city.
And perhaps, it might be people's high attention to the large major city why Kobe has been reconstructed so rapidly.
Besides, some people point out that it's also because there was no atomic power accident.
