Moment,.Susanna Jones was born in Hull in 1967.She studied drama at London University where she became interested in Japanese culture after studying Japanese Noh theatre.This,Background Information,6,led to her living and working in Japan for several years as a teacher of English in Nagoya,and later in Tokyo,where she also worked as a radio script editor.While living in Tokyo she

tsunami in Northern Japan.,She first presents her views on how the Japanese people reacted to this tremendous disaster.She continues to add her thoughts on how cultural restraints influence a peoples response to national tragedy.She reflects on how the Japanese people have always recognized the role of nature in their lives,including the,12,Main,I,dea,pleasing changing of the seasons,the importance of the land and sea for their food supply,and the always-present threat of natural disasters from earthquakes and tsunamis.By comparing the 1995 Japanese response to both a terrorist attack that killed 12 people,and a major earth-quake that killed 6,000,she wonders why there was longer longer lasting public reaction to the terrorist attack,than the more devastating Kobe earthquake.Could it be,13,that forces of nature are an inevitable part of Japanese historical experience,but that the terrorist attack was a human caused event,over which there should be greater control?Was it because they did not want to think about unpredictable earthquakes?Susanne Jones goes on to consider a small collection of short stories written after the 1995 Kobe earthquake by a Japanese novelist,Haruki Murakami.In these stories she searches for an,Main,I,dea,14,understanding of how Japanese culture is responding now,and how,over time,how it may respond to the catastro-phic earthquake and tsunami of
