Editor's Notes
- look at this Map. Namie town is small town 268km north of Tokyo. 21,000 people have lived in Namie.
- Namie’s fish marcket was very live.
- But 11th march 2011, Earthquake and Tsunami destroyed their houses.
- And Namie is very close to nuclear reactor. A part of Namie is inside 20km from nuclear reactor. All Residents can’t live in their home town and moved out another city.
- It shows the number of people living each prefacture. Two third of residents, about 14,000 remain in Fukushima, and the rest moved to outside of Fukushima. so their community is broken.
