tokyo ☀ 17C
14 March, Monday - Moon day, moon in Crab,
the 10th day of the 2nd lunar month.
Tokyo is still shaking, and Jisyuku mood spread.
Jisyuku; Self-control, Japanese custom of apology followed by reclusion.
Meaning, act together to share the pain of others.
- occasional Train/ Power cuts.
- Quake related broadcasting only (except Tokyo MX and TV Tokyo).
- many Offices/ Shops closed.
- Tokyo Stock Exchange Index dropped sharply. (why jisyuku?)
- Bicycles are sold out (use bikes instead of cars/ trains.)
Non-jisyuku mood also spread.
- Food shortages. (some folks can't stop buying stock food.)
- Tokyo Gov. Ishihara (78)betrayed Matsuzawa, seeking a
4th term in the April 10th gubernatorial election.
Too greedy.
