Описание: ◆Outline
This video features a message from the governor of Fukushima Prefecture Uchibori Masao, released on March 11, 2026, marking the 15th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear power disaster.
Amid the fading interest in the disaster, we, the citizens of the prefecture, have been sharing the message of the governor every year since March 11, 2012, which marks the first commemoration of the disaster. This is done to sincerely pray for the repose of victims' souls as well as renew our commitment to revitalization.

◆TABEI Junko
Born in 1939 in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, TABEI was a leading Japanese mountaineer. In 1975, she became the first woman in the world to summit Mount Everest, and later the first woman to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents. She was also dedicated to protecting mountain environments. In 1991, she became the first recipient of the Fukushima Prefectural Honor Award. In her later years, despite illness, she continued to inspire high school students in Tohoku through climbs of Mount Fuji after they were affected by Great East Japan Earthquake. (Passed away in 2016)
