10 years have passed since the serious hit of the Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. Although this earthquake robbed many people of their lives and assets, it taught us many useful lessons about how precious our lives are and how nice it is to help one another at the same time.

In the words of Torahiko Terada, Japan literati, ‡€Natural disaster may come when we forget about them". We might forget the lessons we learned from the earthquake as time passes, thus we planned these open seminars to have opportunities to consider the earthquake in multilateral ways for the younger generations who will carry our future and responsibilities.
