Year 2016 - Kumamoto earthquakes

熊本大地震
東日本大地震事隔5年,九州熊本發生震度7級的地震,傷亡人數遠比311大地震少,熊本城、阿蘇神社等多幢歷史建築物發生嚴重倒塌及損毀。日本人在重建的過程中完全展現了其固執的完美主義民族性,重建中的熊本城一磚一瓦都要放回原本的位置上;部分工序不能使用機器而需要耗費大量人力,重建工作預計要二十年才能完成,現在已完成了大天守閣4至6樓的重建及耐震工程,預計2021年春天可以重新開放給公眾參觀。

Five years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, an earthquake that registered 7 on Japanese seismic intensity scale hit Kumamoto in the Kyushu area. Despite a much smaller number of casualties and deaths than that in the March 11 Earthquake, a large number of historical structures, including Kumamoto Castle and Aso Shrine, have collapsed or suffered serious damages. During the reconstruction process, the Japanese perfectly showcased their national trait of stubborn perfectionism by requiring every stone block of the Kumamoto Castle be returned to their original position. It is expected that the reconstruction will take a total of twenty years because some procedures cannot be performed by machines and thus demand immense manpower. So far the reconstruction and earthquake-resistance work from the fourth to sixth floor of the Tenshukaku, the highest tower, have been completed, and it is scheduled to be open to the public again in the spring of 2021.

looking at the photos and reading articles. Each word and sentence conjures up images. An enthusiast of Japanese culture, I would like to leave a record of my own memories of the Heisei Era before the new one begins.
