The other day, the Minister for Reconstruction presented a letter of appreciation to everyone who is active as a storyteller in Minamisanriku-cho and other disaster-stricken areas of the Tohoku region.
<From the Reconstruction Agency website: Regarding the presentation of the Minister's Letter of Appreciation for storytellers, etc. >
A total of 67 people who were recommended by traditional organizations and local governments in the three affected prefectures were presented with letters of appreciation for their contribution to raising awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation both inside and outside the disaster areas.
In Minamisanriku-cho, these eight people received a letter of appreciation. (Honorifics omitted, in no particular order)
