Traveling to the
village Hiromura in Wakayama, Japan's
western coast as
well as bringing knowledge
and awareness about natural disaster response. Visitors can experience the lives of the fisherfolk.
Moreover, we can observe the advanced technology in early warning for natural disasters. I observed a hill dam
has steel doors
that can be closed when the tsunami arrives.
To be more friendly to nature, the area along the hillside dams and planted with
grass. Once a
year to commemorate the spirit of
the Japanese tsunami
inventor character, Hamaguchi Goryou walking while carrying
the torch along the dam.
Hamaguchi Goryou Hiromura born in
the village in 1820. He is
good at reading the signs of the natural coastal areas. He has saved so many
lives when the tsunami hit the region, by
getting people fled into the hills. A few moments later, He made a fire
of rice bonds,
known as Inamura-no-Hi-no-Yakata evacuation routes as a guide for people who are still in the coastal. The term tsunami
is known throughout the world, popularized first by
National Geographic in 1896 without converting it into English.
The government has
made hiromura village as a center of learning of the first tsunami in
Japan. Tsunami Educational Center
presents historical documents, space simulation, relics spirit of Hamaguchi, three-dimensional theater, the stage of prevention to recovery after the tsunami
disaster that is packaged in a traditional Japanese
house. Really, it's a humane approach,
how visitors brought
to the past when she felt the spirit of Hamaguchi
save lives and open a discourse of how to deal tsunami. On the ground floor, visitors can
enjoy a folklore story
teller brought Questioning
tsunami, as a
part of Japanese society today.
