Reaction of the Japanese
"Go first."
"No, I'm okay."
The Japanese could act with the spirit of ”Others than yourself”.
10 cups of noodles were prepared as emergency food in hotel of Akita.
Even about 50 guests of Japanese could act without stress and caring about each other.
Such a calm like this, due to the unique culture that tries to avoid the "troubles" to the others.
Any news of Looting in the affected areas also had not been reported,
It does not broadcast the scene that caught people by the tsunami,
The medias were also reporting consideration to victims to do not to feel bad.

Government Response
The response and act of the government in the earthquake, we can say they were very insufficiency.
Compared to the case of Great Hanshin Earthquake (1995, M7.3) the delay of the development in system of the government is clear. The Reconstruction Basic Law was satisfied after 36 days, in three days later the reconstruction task force has been established in 1995.
But while one and a half months also stood from the earthquake, even a reconstruction headquarters and reconstruction minister has not been placed. And even there was a nuclear accident, the response of Government was too slow. The government is too careless. And the crisis management ability of the government is too low.
It’s important to give an image of security to the residents and to shows the same direction to reconstruction.

He waves his hands smiling in center of the tsunami
(Ususawa Ryoichi)
・ Streamed by the Tsunami (Ususawa Ryoichi - Otsuchi, Iwate - 64years-old)
At the day I was in the home.
I had written a business report.
It was only to bind to the file, so I was happy.
Then a tremendous big shake come.
I have never experienced in my life.
I thought we will crushed and die.
It was really terrible shaking.
At that time, my computer, printer, bookshelf, records... Everything was raining to me.
"I can't move on."
I wait to the shake pass. It was too long.
Then my wife said "Let's escape, it's a tsunami", from the first floor.
All electricity was offed.
We took the radio on and it said "it's tsunami of three meters".
I think that there is no reason to escape.
"Calm down, calm down." I said to my wife.
Then my son said the same thing to us. But I said the same thing.
Next, my daughter comes with her son and said to me "please let's run away from here!"
At that time my wife call out with a loud voice and said, "It's tsunami!" I thought it wan't a true and I look from the window.
There was a tsunami only 100 m from here.
It was like a game of domino.
The buildings was coming to here.
I notice that the water of the tsunami was starting to inter to my house.
My dog "Taro" was shaking next to my side so I hold in my arms.
We go to the roof because the water was just right there.
At the roof it was people like me who could not run away. I could see it people going to fall down into the vortex of the tsunami.
Even I remember clearly now, a man wearing a hat, blue shirt, jeans and skinny.
He was waving his hand towards me.
40, 50 meters away.
It was not like "help me".
He was smiling like saying to me "we are going to die"
Suddenly, a huge explosion was occurred near here.
I could feel with my legs that the fire were extending itself to my house.
Me, Taro and My house will start to stream.
We proceeds like 300 m.
Caught with one hand to the wire cable that secures the TV, while holding a taro with the other hand.
I did not remember how, but I only see that he dead.
I really feel that I will die. I decided to go to the house which is 50 m from here.
At that moment, I see a road.
Only there seemed clearly. Others were blurred not see the place.
It seemed to said to me "Come here".
I tried to across the tsunami to go to the house along the cars that is streaming.
At that time the second wave of the tsunami comes.
It was bigger wave than the first one. So I really feel in this time that I will die right now.
"I gave up".
Then, I saw a fireman near me. I was upon a car. He had a ladder(stairs).
And finally I was saved.
Sometimes the lead(collar) of Taro was disconnected.
"If I abandon you here, how I can be easy"
But when I saw his eyes I could not do that.
With fear and cold, I was trembling and could not walk. I was instructed by the fireman to go to the community center.
I arrived to the center which my family might be stayed.
I search for 30 minutes but I couldn't find.
So I was waiting in the lobby.
Then, I hear a voice that I know.
It was my wife.
She was crying and yelling in the same time.
She thought that I dead.
The community center was so cold.
Two elderly dead for the cold.
A public health nurse brought and wrapped me with a newspaper.
It was a first time in my life that I notice a Newspapers are warmth.
I saw a young mother who lost her daughter of the 2 year old by the tsunami in the place where their own hands can reach.
She had become crazy.
"It's ok, It's ok. We are here. What's wrong?" I asked,
"My family of five has become to three" she said.
I only could hug her.
The 9.11, the Earthquake of Chile, the Tsunami of Aceh...
I saw that news.
I thought that is painful.
But I'll not like this, I was thinking like that.
I was a stupid.
It's not a money or kind of that.
"Connection with the people", this is the best, was really reminded.
For the tsunami of March 11, 2011, my point of view had change at all.
I had written a business report.
It was only to bind to the file, so I was happy.
Then a tremendous big shake come.
I have never experienced in my life.

1. Why do you write a comics?
To tell to the people about my experience of the earthquake to that people can act in earthquakes.
And to not to waste the earthquake and thousand of death.
2. What was the most painful thing in the earthquake?
The Shelter life.
From the day of the earthquake, we were evacuated to the nearby elementary school’s gymnasium which is the designated shelter. Then, the elementary school is judged to be dangerous, so we have been moved to the junior high school gymnasium, which was a long distance away. Miyagi at March is still cold. Food, materials, information, everything was missing. At that time, I was mortifying that my knowledge about disaster was very insufficient. The medias such as News are reporting about information of disasters and troubles, I could not imagine what will occur to me.
3. What did you lost through the earthquake?
I lost the time. My house was destroyed the garden, so it has received the evacuation order. The construction work has been completed and I could back to my home is after three years and nine months. If an earthquake occurs, it will lose a lot of time. Even 2016 now that five years from the Great East Japan Earthquake have spent, there is so many people who are living a refuge life. Such as Besides, property, work and human relations, we lost various things. However, at the same time, we get an opportunity to notice new human relations.
4. When you saw your home after the earthquake, what you feel and what you wanted to do?
I thought simply that a very horrible thing was occur. By the earthquake, my town got a seriously damaged. The house was broken, the road also twisted. But after the earthquake, because the Tsunami victims of coastal areas were enormous, the damage in Sendai where I live was not get attention. To obtain the support, it was need to transmission information from ourselves. We formed the Association of the victims in our town, where we achieve reconstruction activities. I worked as the Vice-president to protect the property of people as much as I can and to remake a town that everyone can agree.

5. What do you think that it is necessary to reconstruction?
It is the better support and system of government.
In the Great East Japan earth quake the most surprised thing was there not existed a union or system to help the residents who lost their houses. Previously earthquakes disaster had also occurred before many times. But a clear system (construction residential land sliding collapse emergency measures business) was finally created after the Earthquake. That had been carried the delay of the reconstruction, because the government had to build the system and reconstruction of the earthquake in the same time.
6. What do you think about the aid and support, such as from foreign countries?
I thought we were very glad to that. When I was living in shelters, the information was also limited, so it was later date to know the aid and support, from foreign countries. We were helped in such as areas where had damage of tsunami like coastal areas. In addition, we received assistance from various countries. I think this must be not forget.
7. At to back to your home, what you were thinking?
The shelter life was the most painful thing in the earthquake. I do not want to remember too much, but I thought this experience should be in the form of comics before I forget this experience, so I began to write "My Earthquake experience". Sometime I regret that if before that day, had read something about anti-earthquake measures knowledge book.
8. When you back to your home how did you feel?
I felt I have a long way to go. I returned to my home, but it was a lot of things to do. We have to solve or clear little by little.
9. 5 years from the earthquake, is there a change in your point of view and feeling?
My way of thinking is completely different to before the earthquake. For example, to have more than necessary things is not a happiness for me of now. I become to think more about what is important to my life of now.
10. Do you want to tell us as one of the victims,?
Everyone of us don't know when we are going to become victims. That the reason why I am writing comics in my Blog to prepared people when they encounters to a disaster as much as I can. In addition, I am lucky enough to live. Therefore, I also think that it is important to live without regret and to to cherish every day.
What can we do?
Just don't forget the Earthquake.
In the 11th of March of each year in the 14:46.
Let's have a silent prayer together.
