Welcome

Thank you for the thousands of emails in support of the original translations of Japanese Twitter accounts of the March 11th quake on my Facebook note, "Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter". Now, together with ten classmates and friends in the University of Cambridge, I have launched this blog to continue translating the voices of the Japanese people on their road to recovery.

Graduation in Evacuation

Good morning!  The children in primary school had their graduation ceremony yesterday inside the evacuation facility.  Despite the difficult times, my heart filled with hope and happiness seeing these little ones take their first steps into their next chapter in life.  Good luck!
