Many Japan Society members will know Anne Kaneko.

Anne, a long-time member and former editor of the Society, lives in Koriyama, Fukushima prefecture, Japan. Her daily email diary sent to friends and family has now become a blog, which you may find interesting. Her sensible, matter of fact commentary on life running a small business in the aftermath of the 11 March earthquake and tsunami, and against the backdrop of ongoing concern about the Fukushima nuclear power plant, is at times funny, at others deeply moving.
