Dear my colleagues, Dear my friends, This is second report on Japanese current situations. After sending e-mail to you through ICOM-L and personal e-mail address, I received over 50 feedback e-mails with encouragement from all over the world. Thank you very much indeed. We can survive with your hearty e-mails. I transferred all e-mails of yours to Japanese museum colleagues and to Japanese association and also to several museological society. These remind us that we are absolutely not isolated. At the moment, we can not go enter into the tragic sites for emergency helps, because the transportation system has not yet recovered.
