Be Close to People in Devastated Areas with Great Respect for their Lives and Culture

Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake,Japan:1995

After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995, I have been active with disaster-stricken areas and victems inside and outside Japan, under the theme of "getting close (to victims)." One must learn not to unilaterally inherit the wisdom and experiences of Japan as a leading nation in disaster prevention and recovery, but to aquaint oneself with the landscape of culture of the stricken area and uncover their buried wisdom by getting closer to the people. That will lead to disaster reduction in the future.
