The Many Types of Torii in Japan | Blog | Travel Japan (Japan National Tourism Organization)

Q: Kaitlyn, why are you so obsessed with #torii gates?

A: Because they're so much more beautiful, diverse, & wide-ranging than the stereotype we have of the red Inari or Floating torii at #Shinto shrines in Japan!

Exhibit A: a torii raibow⛩️🌈

:o!
A tsunami warning — meaning waves of up to 3 meters are possible — was issued for Okinawa on Wednesday morning after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Taiwan, according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency.

Everyone in Japan will be called Sato by 2531 unless marriage law changed, says professor Sato will become the only option by 2531, suggests modelling as part of campaign to overturn outdated law requiring spouses to have same surname

Wrong assumptions undermine the argument! As an anthropologist whose first fieldsite was a- literal- community of Satos, the culturally appropriate answer is: use yago!

誤った前提が議論を台無しにしている!佐藤さんたちの文字通りの集落を最初のフィールドとした人類学者として、文化的に適切な答えは「ヤゴと一緒」である!

Recovery will take time and support is needed! I visited this family (Miyamoto) as a part of the 7なな Support Group where we volunteered &passed on wisdom from personal experiences from 3.11. In the words of one of our members, "you need to think of recovery as taking 10 years”

“Here, here!” to the “as good for the human race” part.
Including all components of social-ecological systems in ecosystem based management is necessary for sustainability .

As a member of a taiko (Japanese drum) group, I’ve wondered how many were lost in the recent tsunami. Nice to see one, at least, has been found and returned.

Earthquakes began around 3am local time, with the volcano erupting again. I feel for the residents of Grindavík.

It looks like things are still tough for hunters, fishermen, and residents in northern Greenland. 2024/1/11. :'(

Wonder what it means when the news reports that the ground has been uplifted in an earthquake? Here's a stark reality from Fukami Fishing Port in Ishikawa-ken.

The ground rose 3.9m; local sea is 1-2m shallower

Yet another reason it will be difficult for fishers to begin again after the disaster

If you want to help victims of the New Year's day earthquake & tsunami in Japan, I recommend these groups' call for donations: they do excellent work

NGO Collaboration Center for HANSHIN QUAKE Rehabilitation
NGO CODE Citizens towards Overseas Disaster Emergency
Hyogo Bousaishi Society enough.

Yep. In March 2011, the first news I found about "my town" and especially specific neighborhoods where fisher friends lived was via Twitter

Japan, 2024 Day #3: Japan's oldest arcade (covered shopping street) currently burning to the ground... which follows Day #1 (Major earthquake and tsunami) and Day #2 (Coast Guard relief plane struck by a commercial airliner)

Time to think of safe n happy days: let's bring out the sleeping cats!
