Editorial Support Project: July Flood – One of the Worst Disaster of Japan
The July 2018 Flood of Western Japan is one of the worst disasters in Japan. Across 13 prefectures, more than 200 people were killed and more than 30,000 houses are damaged.
In my home town Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, 24 people were killed, and 1000 houses are damaged.
In Kure City, major roads have been reopened, but vital train traffic JR Kure Line is shut down, and causes heavy traffic congestion in main highways.
On-going reports about the July Japan Flood are available at the July issue of Cultural News: http://www.culturalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Cultural-News-2018-07-July.pdf
and http://culturalnews.com/AidHiroshima (English)
and http://culturalnews.com/HelpKure (Japanese) now.
I plan to visit Hiroshima Prefecture and Kure City from July 31 – Aug. 6. I need $3,000 for airplane tickets and transportation and accommodations in Japan.
I would appreciate your donation to Cultural News.

In the first half part of the 120-year history of the Japanese immigrants in the U.S. mainland, Japanese cultural communities were their fortresses to protect their families and identities in circumstances of racial discrimination and wartime hysteria.
But in the 21st century, Japanese culture becomes parts of the world standards which are shared by people beyond boundaries. Now, Japanese cultural communities become a new meaning of gathering places for those who wish to make the world better.
