Many rallies were held nationwide in Japan on March 11, the first anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. The participants reposed of those who lost their lives in the disaster and refreshed the desire for reconstruction.
In Fukushima
Prefecture, some 16,000 people attended a gathering titled "We don't want
nuclear plants! 3.11 Rally of the People of Fukushima" that was held at a
baseball stadium in Koriyama City. They observed a moment of silence at 2:46
p.m., the time when the earthquake off Tohoku spawned the tsunami that wrecked
the Pacific coast on March 11, 2011. At a squire in front of the central
railway station of the city, hundreds of candle lanterns prepared by local
citizens were displayed, expressing their thoughts and feelings with drawings
and words.
The
rally started with a concert by a famed singer KATO Tokiko who performed tunes
with a prayer for revitalization. SHIMIZU Shuji made an appeal representing the
organizers. "It may seem that we, residents of Fukushima, have regained a
normal life. But look carefully. Children are not playing outdoors. Farmers have
been deprived of the joy of production. Beleaguered by radioactivity, we are
forced to live with a fear about the future that is too hard to articulate. We
have learnt a hard lesson that nuclear plants have an enormous danger that can
possibly destroy the whole nation. With regrets, we cry 'no nukes!' Let's move forward together!" (By MORI Miki)
