EARTHQUAKES

摘要

Marking 80 years since the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Museum of Natural Science in Tokyo is holding an exhibition entitled 'The Earthquake" from August 1 to October 26. Just how much have earthquake research and disaster prevention advanced in the 80 years since that disaster? The Japanese people have long enjoyed the rich blessings offered by the land on which they live, from plentiful supplies of sparkling fresh water and bountiful harvests of rice and other crops, to beautiful mountain scenery and soothing hot springs.
