Election And Huge Eerth Quake.

I found an article that Yakata-bune, houseboat where people banquet, can't pass under a bridge due to rising sea levels in Tokyo Bay when spring tide occurs. And Meteorological Office denies abnormal sea level but admit the sea level varies widely. And Near bank protections, it can be rise up to abnormal level. Hmm.



因果応報(Ingaouhou) is idiom in China and Japan. It is a Buddhist term. It would mean "chickens come home to roost". If huge earth quake happen in abnormal sea level time, it would make it worse. Liquefaction phenomenon absolutely happen when huge earth quake happens. The "triple trouble" would ruin the bay area. I saw the liquefaction phenomenon of landfill in Kobe, therefore I don't want to live in bay area. Earth quake shakes landfills and water was consisted by clay emerge. It is liquefaction phenomenon. All of Tokyo bay area is manmade land. And Tokyo is originally alluvial cone, as I recall, some area's ground are very weak. I've heard Tokorozawa's ground is strong against earth quake. Tokorozawa is the city I live in.



Ishihara Shintaro, who is the president of Tokyo prefecture, won election yesterday. He said "We must reinforce the measure against huge earth quake. And "let's have a big dream of Olympic in Tokyo together!". The theme of next Tokyo Olympic is "symbiosis with nature". He regards the theme is along with Japanese traditional culture. I like the concept. But I think there is a difference from traditional spirituality. The project lacks awe. I look forward to see the Olympic. Also it have a major impact, 10 trillion yen, on the overall economy.



But I suppose he should spend money for antiearthquake measures at first. About 6,000 or 7,000 people killed by huge earth quake in Kobe. It happened early morning most people still were sleeping. If it happened in the daytime, countless number of people might be killed. Ishihara call out even American Navy for the measure. But I think there are still many things he have to do for the measure.



Absolutely, tens thousand to hundred thousand dead body will be lined when huge earth quake happens in Tokyo. I don't need the big dream if I can avoid horrific nightmare.
