Title: Inamura no Hi (Fire in the Haystacks) This story was originally written by Lafcadio Hearn (1890-1940, westernized name of KOIZUMI Yakumo). NAKAI Tsunezou (1907-1994) later adapted the story for a short tale, which was used for a language textbook in elementary schools in Japan during 1937-1947. This picture-story show tells us about the nature of tsunami and about the importance of prompt evacuation in case one expects a large tsunami after an earthquake. |
