The fact that the antenna mounted atop the Tokyo Tower has been twisted by the earthquake of March 11 is reminiscent of the great earthquake of 1855, which had distorted the tip of the five-story pagoda of the temple Sensoji in Asakusa, Tokyo. This deterioration of a symbol of Japan's capital was a reflection of the crisis atmosphere that reigned in the country.
In 1853, the "black ships" of Commodore Perry had entered the port of Uraga and the following year, Japan was hit by two major earthquakes. While the company was experiencing the disorder, the earthquake of 1855, which occurred south of the capital, had made thousands of victims. The city became a place of debauchery, where fights were common.
But rice has been distributed to the population and the reconstruction has helped restart the economy. The rates of Carpenters and masons will have soared and the pleasure districts have become prosperous. The kawaraban [newspapers Woodcuts] and the prints had their golden age. But the shogunate, created problems inside and lextérieur border was soon to collapse.
Today, a deep crisis is grafted on a climate of late reign. With energy savings, the stores are in the dark and the shelves are empty. It's like being in a state of emergency. In the 80s, there had been periods of restriction, but this time they are factories, power plants and distribution system that are affected and the consequences of rumors radiation in addition to clippings current.
Japan does not know a climate of crisis, but the crisis itself. All countries and all people concerned. But if people are killed and the money stops flowing, the country will struggle to recover. The state should concentrate all its expenditures in the affected areas and families who can afford it must spend to save the country.
Gifts, dining out, impulse, everything is good. Whatever happens the government is up to us to bear the cost of reconstruction, estimated at tens of trillions of yen. Many Japanese must have reserves for the future, but we will have no future until we have overcome together the difficulties of the country.
This is not the end of the world. Thirteen years after the disaster of 1855, the Meiji Japan was waiting, an era of openness and modernization.
