Reflections following March 11
People who suffered the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami are already struggling back to their feet. Each one of them will start their lives again in the hometown where they were born and raised. Such energy might come from their strong feelings about history and culture which were nurtured in a rich natural environment and sometimes faced natural threats head-on.
The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami urge us to reexamine the social structure itself and also the academic system of our country. The National Museum of Japanese History is determined to participate actively in building the foundation of new studies of Japanese history and culture and constructing the history and culture of the region as a basis of revitalization of the disaster-stricken area.
