Thank all of you for caring sincerely about Hokkaido.
The March 11 earthquake was unprecedented in Japan, devastating a vast area of the country. As one of Japan’s
citizens, I would like to express my deepest thanks for the overwhelming sympathies that have been expressed to
Japan from all across the world.
Historically, Japanese life has been realized in symbiosis with nature, both by taking pleasure in its richness and by
overcoming its many threats.
