After ten years since the unimaginable damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tusunami, the affected areas have stood through the grief and recovered!
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone around the world for all of the support and encouragement, and would like to also offer my sincere condolences to the victims and their families.
Ten years have passed since then, and humanity is now trying to overcome another great challenge on a global scale.
These challenges teach us human how to persevere.
Now is not the time for selfishness, but a heart bassed on compassion, in other words, kindness is the true key to our future.
I truly believe that kindness will create harmony, and we will be able to achieve the great unity of “Yamato” , the global harmony.
When we use this predicament as a springboard and put the actions of kindness into practice, I am sure that humanity will be able to rise to the next level of peace.
Let’s together raise high the sword of kindness to take away violence, homicide, cruelty, and selfishness from the hearts of people!
Whether it may be
the pandemic, natural disasters, racism, war, or riot, I truly believe that we can overcome them as our souls grow stronger.
Shinji Harada
