The time really flew quickly. It?s almost the end of February. And 3.11, the day the Great East Japan Earthquake hit Japan, will be coming in 2?weeks.

One year ago, the Japanese people lived in the society before the earthquake. At that time, we thought differently, pursue different lifestyle, and had a different point of views. The earthquake has affected our behavior and way of?thinking.

By the earthquake, we experienced the great loss of people and town. We also face the tragedy of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Because of huge damages, which also uncovered facts hid by the government, bureaucrats, corporations, scholars, and mass media, we had, for example, huge anxiety to our future, strong will to think over our society?s mode and lifestyle, empathy to feel other?s sorrow and pain, and resentment to injustice or unreasonable?things.

It has been 1 year. We still keep these thoughts and emotion in ourselves, but they seem to occupy less than before. Is it difficult to keep something we felt or thought 1 year ago, even though we got such huge?damages?

The earthquake damaged the Tohoku area badly, and the reconstruction of the damaged area is the highest priority. The earthquake also forced us to rethink our society's future. How far have we tackled the issue: from political turmoil to slow implementation of reconstruction projects, problems of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant and radioactive contamination to corruption between the government, bureaucrats, corporations, scholars, and mass?media?

On 17 March last year, Egyptian cartoonist Amr Okasha posted his cartoon to the Cartoon Movement website, which has a lot of political cartoons and provides cartoons to the NI?magazine.

?Supporting Japan? by Amr Okasha
Japan is facing crisis upon crisis, and can use the support of the?world.

When I see this cartoon, I really appreciate warm supports from around the world, and I remember that Japan's reconstruction is not only our hope and interest, but it is also those of people around the?world.
