About

Many people still remember, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It was the most powerful earthquake on record in Japan with the huge tsunami. The earthquake and tsunami also caused extensive and severe structural damage in north-eastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. The World Bank's estimated economic cost was US$235 billion, making it the costliest natural disaster in world history. 

So many people, they are still in temporary compounds and there is very difficult situation there but it is returning to normal steadily. We wish the earthquake victims can get back their life as early as possible. 

At the time in Japan, the cell phone was not working. People have to use the public phone to contact their family but nobody cut in the middle of the line. People line up perfectly for a long time. So many people run into a grocery store or convenience store because of food shortages but nobody stole anything from the stores. Japanese people pay the groceries with large tolerance. And also, Japanese line up perfectly for a train at the stations. 

We saw the beautiful orderly mind everywhere at the time in Japan. They got a huge damage by the earthquake but we rediscover that they have a heart of gold, spirit of cooperation, calm judgment, go for the happy medium, kindness and great manners. Everybody in the world acclaimed such attitudes of Japan and Japanese. 

There are so many wonderful stuff made by such people. I introduce amazing Japanese people and Japanese stuff like Japanese DVD (movie), Japanese book, Japanese Manga (comic book), Japanese Snack and Japanese electronics etc. There are so many wonderful stuff in the world but there is a lot of remarkably stuff in Japan too. The Japanese split of year's experience is in their various products. 

The intent and purpose of Astro Shop Japan is to let people in the world know about such wonderful Japanese products. Space (the universe) is still unknown. We know it just a little bit. These Japanese products are still unknown for some people in the world too. Hence the name of our blog. I also love Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) by Osamu Tezuka, though.
