It was fine but very cold. Mt. Fuji looked so beautiful.
It has been 3 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami happened. There were many memorial ceremonies here and there. In Tokyo there was the one hosted by the Japanese Government and about 1,000 people attended including the Emperor and Empress, Prime Minister, and representatives from the bereaved families of Iwate (岩手), Miyagi (宮城), and Fukushima (福島).
At 2:46 PM most people offered a silent prayer for the dead.
According to the newspaper, 15,884 peoples' lives were lost and 2,633 people are still missing, and 2,973 people died related to this occasion. And 267,000 people are still evacuating.
On March 11, 2011, 104 babies were said to be born in the above-mentioned prefectures. Some of them have not been celebrated on their birthday because many of their family members or relatives or friends were lost.
I wish the early recovery from the disaster and happiness of the people.
