The special lecture on last Friday remided me the terrible earthquake in Tohoku. Even now, I remenber the moment when it happened clearly. After 3 years it occured, our family went to Tohoku for sightseeing. But it had not recovered at all, the remains of houses that were carried away by tsunami were still a lot. I was shocked the situation and I learned how awful the natural disaster is. So the image of that lecture told the importance of spreding our experience and of hearing the story of people in Tohoku.
In my opinion, Shingetsu symbolized the truth that could not be seen superficially. Shingetsu is a moon that cannot be seen after full moon. People living in Tohoku are trying to save their culture after the earthquake. They have a firm faith to do that and love for their hometown. However the faith and the anxiety of people cannot be seen, they are existent. I think that is similar to the Shingetsu.
