Voices from Tohoku

Given that we’re reading and watching about 3/11 this week, I thought this might be a good time to share a really fantastic resource that professors and students at Sophia University, in Tokyo, have been building.  They have gathered hundreds of hours of interviews with people in the Tohoku region after 3/11 and organized them on a fantastic website.

A description in English is here.

The website itself, which is mostly in Japanese, is here. You can click around to get to lots of videos of people talking about their lives before and since 3/11.
