Tyuetsu Earthquake

People who sufferd from Tyuetsu Earthqauake in October, 2004 conducted welcome back party which is called "Kisonsiki" in Japanese. About 400 people joined this ceremony and did "mochitsuki". The head of the village said that they did not think that they will be able to come back to the village 3 years ago, but thatnks for the supports we could make it. They are concerned about aging society because now there are may elder people. On my opinion, I did not know that people are still sufferd from this earthquake. We do not have a chance to know if media does not pick up for this topic. I want people to have thier normal life as early as possible.
