We are doing fine. Everthing as usual.
Thank you very much for your kind messages.
We, in Osaka, are doing fine. We had quakes but not bad as the one on North-East Japan. It was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.
As you know, we have earthquakes often, so we have been prepared, for both earthquakes and tsunamis. But the tsunami this time was far beyond our imagination. It attacked even the people in the 5th floor of a building.
It is really hard for us to watch TV, thinking how terrible experiences they have had, just 850 km away from here. A few ten thousands people are missing, several towns and villages literally vanished.
1/4 of Japan have got damages.
3 of large nuclear power station were destroyed. Both radioactive pollution and the shortage of power are our concern. In Tokyo area, the electricity is cut off for 3-6 hours a day, to avoid major power failure. They have to do this at least till the end of April. Some area can not have power in the morning, some at daytime, some at night. So they can not open the stores, they can not run trains, they can not work, they can not study, they can not cook - as usual. Our ecomony will be severely hit by this, because this happens in Tokyo area.
We have no idea how long it will take to recover. It sure is the worst natural disaster Japan have ever experienced.
All the Japanese appreciate the kind help and comments from other countries...
We have hard time, but as the ones who live now, we have to live everyday, and to keep on working as usual so that we can help the ones who need our help. We believe our people, we help each other, and Japan will stand up again no matter how long it takes, no matter how much we sacrifice. Little by little, step by step, everyday, everyone. Drink companies supply water for free (when the large earthquake attacked KOBE and OSAKA, the vending machines of drinks were open for free), food company foods, blancket companies blanckets, clothing companies clothings, electric appliances give radios and lights... That is how we have done when we had hard time.
This time, it is really hard for everyone. Japanese Yen is still expensive in vain, so the major companies have been in trouble for years.
To help the victims for a long time, we really need your support from outside of Japan.
Since we are doing fine in Osaka, we open our shop and do business as usual. The items will be delivered to you as always.
We are now getting ready for a charity sale to donate.
Thank you for your help and prayer for us!!!
We will do our best for the future of our kids.
