*****************************************
Thought for the
Day TM R.Aoyagi
Today is Disaster Prevention Day,
Bosainohi.
The day was established to mark the Great Kanto Earthquake, which
took
place on this day in 1923.
There are another reason why Bosainohi
falls on September 1st.
According to the solar calendar, September 1st is
the 210th day after the
first day of spring, Rissun.
Traditionally, this
day has been called Nihyaku Toka, the start of the
typhoon
season.
Around this time, rice plants begin to bloom.
Therefore farmers
keep strict watch on these days because typhoons are
likely to hit Japan
which do a great deal of damage to rice plants.
It is impossible for humans
to control earthquake, typhoon, and any other
disasters.
Therefore, we
have to always try to be prepared in order to keep damage to
a minimum.
