I'm packed and will have breakfast before catching shinkansen to the city of Nagaoka in Niigata prefecture ... Ryokan country. People there know him and love him.
What will it be like this time? I keep asking myself that question ... not just because a year has passed, but also because of the earthquake. Are the people in Bunsui okay? I haven't managed to find out from the news reports. Mostly I've seen images of Kashiwazaki: torn streets, collapsed houses, the elderly in temporary housing.
Hearing people speak
About the troubles of the world
I can't help but feel shocked
As I am neither rock nor tree.
