SCENES from Japan


Scene 1: Place Ash Here

I like watching the Sakurajima in the early morning . Tranquality prevails it seemed, but Sakurajima is still active and has hideous history, a horrible one. Once upon a time the active volcano had engulfed part of the town of Kagoshima and also burried a whole temple, now only part of the roof was left for tourist to behold.

Arround June and July continuous explosions from the Sakurajima would be heard and the town would be showed by black soot and dust. That answered my curiosity as to why at the various garbage sites arround Kagoshima there are also signs "place ash here"
