Fukushima vegetable

Originally uploaded by nofrills

Fukushima was for me, a Tokyoite, where a large part of my food was produced. I believe it's the same for many others in Kanto area.

Used in my short essay, "Names", in the #Quakebook. Quakebook is a project to raise fund to Japanese Red Cross to help the recent quake/tsunami victims in Tohoku (the northeast) area of Japan. It was made possible by @OurManInAbiko's brilliance and tirelessness along with the help of a great number of ppl, indeed 100s, around the world, including the Science Fiction legend William Gibson.

For more info, please visit:

You can read my story on my blog:

If you are a Gibson fan, Abiko, where @ourmaninbiko is based, is in Chiba, btw...
