3 years after the earthquake disaster. A message from Emperor of Japan, Akihito.

Thank you so much for visiting Astro Shop Japan! It has been a long time to update this blog. Gomennasai... I would like to post a message from Japan's emperor, Akihito today.



Three years from today, the massive earthquake associated Tsunami caused more than two million people deaths and the missing persons. Still so many victims are continuing the difficult living in the affected areas. Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred by the earthquake. People still can not live in the radioactive contamination area and has been forced to leave their familiar environment. I get sad thinking about the people who can not return to their own house...

In the affected areas, people give consideration to bond of each other and overcome the many difficulties. They have continued to strive hard towards the reconstruction. I take heart that people in Japan and people outside Japan continues to support for the disaster victim.

I think people has to snuggle each other with one heart to keep their health and to live with hope. And I hope we hand down to our posterity to never forget the memory of this disaster and try to foster the disaster prevention and to build a safe national land.

Wishing people can get back the restful life as soon as possible. This is an eulogy for the departed souls.

This is just a great message for the victims.  I hope we can achieve full recovery as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.
