Reflections on the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
Of course, in the aftermath of the earthquake, companies and workers from across Japan gathered to fully commit to the restoration efforts, rebuilding the buildings and infrastructure that had been destroyed. However, we must not forget that volunteers, clergy, humanities scholars, and artists also gathered to help restore the spirit of the Japanese people, who had fallen into despair.
If we compare the earthquake-affected areas to a human body, the reconstruction of infrastructure corresponds to physical healing, while prayers and art are akin to the treatment of trauma and PTSD.
