15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011

15 years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake and its resulting tsunami struck Japan on 11 March 2011.

I still cannot forget watching the news that day.

 

I still cannot forget the experience of living in Tokyo for a year after the earthquake, with the frequent aftershocks and an entire nation dealing with the aftermath. And how the movie Suzume strikes such a chord in my heart. 

Violets blooming again

 

「また、この花が咲く季節になったんだな」
"It is again the season when this flower blooms"

 

My violets are really blooming early this year.
