Japanese strength of recovery

As Japan has been an important economic and technologically advanced country for many decades, most people have heard about the devastating events which have occurred in its history. On a yearly recurring basis, Japan is plagued with its fare share of natural disasters. Most vivid to mind comes the recent Great East Japan Earthquake and the following Tsunami. Now almost three years after this terrible event the Japanese have mostly recovered from this traumatic event. Only the people who are directly related and those who live in the hardest hit areas are reminded of the earthquake. however, life goes on and they have to brace themselves and get ready for future disasters such as typhoons, of which twenty to thirty threaten the mainland every year. only a couple of typhoons actually hit the main island of Japan. The others just scrape the lower islands or just the east coast but bring with them severe winds and torrential rain.

It is probably because of these annually recurring disasters that Japanese have the strength to recover very quickly. A lot of this recovery strength comes from their ability to cooperate and work together in order to rebuild whatever was broken or damaged during the natural disaster. Whole communities put their skills to work and strive to regain the normal way of life they had before the disaster.

 Japanese strength of recovery was first noticed after the second world war, after so many pars of the country were destroyed, the Japanese came back as the strongest economy in the world. This could only have been accomplished through a strong will, long working hours, and the ability to work together towards a single goal.
