ninineji's review
5.0
I was in Japan when 03/11 occurred and since then I'm quite obsessed with any writing about the subject. I would not be able to say why but I need to read this kind of things.
I really like Jake Adelstein since I read "Tokyo Vice" when I was in a road trip in the north of Japan and I sometimes check his website and read some articles. It by his goodreads account that I find this book and I'm glad I did.
It's about "how to reconstruct Japan after fukushima". Not only in a physical way with buildings, roads and so on. It also concerns politics, medias, volounteer works, yakuza or charity. All of this theme in this book are incredibly interesting and because I was living in Japan at the time, the book had a great impact on me, it remembered me the TV I was watching to know what was happening in Fukushima, people giving money at Seiyuu for the victim reliefs and so on. I have to admit I got moved at one point.
This is a great book and it should be read if you have the smallest interest in Japan. It's easy to read, not long at all and it's full of optimism. It gives a good insight of what the future of this country can be and you can feel that all the writers are quite specialists in the country or/and at least they love it very dearly.
