Abstract

 After Great East Japan Earthquake and TEPCO’s Fukushima No.1 Nuclear Power plant accident, some scholars of Japanese literature began to revaluate “Genbaku Literature”, works based on the Atomic-Bomb event in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, it has not been examined how people describe and represent "Fukushima" in detail. Many victims suffering even now, but The Japanese government want to make national narrative of reconstruction toward 2020 Tokyo Olympic games. In this study, I discussed about how preserve for cultural heritage and historical documents, and how succeed the memories of regional activities before/after 3.11 in Hama-dori area of Fukushima prefecture.
