My blog is about food, healthy eating, and unique Japanese cooking method to do that in half the time and effort. I normally don’t write about other things. However, as you all know, Japan is devastated by recent earthquake of 9.0, followed by hundreds of strong aftershocks, nuclear plants, rolling black out, shortage of food and gas, etc. etc.

Many people have contacted me if my family and friends are safe - They are all safe and alive. Thank you for all of your concerns and kind words. The damage in Tokyo metropolitan area where most of my family and friends live is relatively minimum. However, the fears, inconvenience and uncertainty the people of the eastern half of Japan have to go through everyday is enormous.

I would like to ask for your help.

I got a request from a friend of mine to spread the word to your friends and family to reach out to your local representative and President Obama to request Japanese government to stop Hamaoka and Tokai nuclear power plants (closest to Tokyo) now before the next big earthquake happens.

She’s asking us in the US because it’s because Japanese government tend to listen to what US (president) says more than what Japanese people ask.

Please read the letter she wrote below, and help out people in Japan by spreading the word. She believes it is about the survival of Japan and maybe Northern hemisphere.

Thank you for your help, praying for Japan!  Your support means a lot to me, and everyone in Japan.

Japan : STOP HAMAOKA and TOKAI Nuclear Power Plants Now

So many people have contacted me across the ocean if we are safe. Thank YOU. I and my family are all safe and alive as I write this. My town Kamogawa is not affected even though we had earthquakes and tsunami, too.

But radiation is coming and it is serious.

In my view, all the pregnant woman and children are better off to go as far as they can from Fukushima Nuclear Power plants (there are 10 plants there. 6 @1st Fukushima, 4@2nd Fukushima). 10 nuclear power plants are under critical condition, 4 have started releasing radioactive gas to the environment, which is now heading west across the pacific ocean.

Now, it is about the survival of Japan and maybe northern hemisphere. If you are American, you can help us now by asking your senators and congressman to request Japanese government to stop Hamaoka and Tokai nuclear power plants now before the next big earthquake happens.

The earthquakes are moving down south and we had a big earthquake yesterday in Fuji (Mt. Fuji area) magnitude 6. We have had 200 earthquakes since the 1st one as big or bigger than magnitude 5 in one week. Japan is in severe danger now.

Here is a letter I wrote. Thank you Cathy Cadden, my NVC teacher,who helped me for this.

You may wonder why I am doing this. I tell you! Because Japanese government tend to listen to what US (president) says more than what Japanese people ask.

Help US now (will help you for reducing the amount of radiation you are getting soon）!!!!

Please spread widely the letter or this blog post:

Another Way To Help Japan Now in Your Country

Dear People in the United States,

We are asking that all of you contact your local representatives and President Obama and implore them to pressure the Japanese government to shut down Hamaoka and Tokai nuclear power plants. These plants are the two closest to Tokyo.

We continue to have aftershocks that register from 4.0 to 7.0. We also are experiencing other quakes from epicenters close to and inside Tokyo. If these plants become affected it could be devastating for Japan as Tokyo has the largest concentration of our population. We would also request that the rest of the nuclear power plant facilities (all 55) be fully checked out for safety.

Contact them as soon as you can to help our health and survival,

Thank you ,
concerned parents in Japan,
