Greetings!
Anders Pape Møller and Timothy A. Mousseau are eminent scientists who have been researching the impact on animal and plant life of the Chernobyl disaster for more than a decade, and the Fukushima disaster since July 2011. In the present issue they pose a series of disconcerting questions about government handling of the disaster and, particularly, about continuing dangers, above all to women and children in stricken regions. Asato Ikeda interviews the artist Ikeda Manabu on his extraordinatry art responding to the 3.11 triple disasters in light of disaster art from Tokugawa and Meiji forward.

Another is a regularly updated guide to the more than 100 articles we have published on the 3.11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power meltdown which is transforming Japanese politics and society, and is reshaping issues of nuclear power and energy policy in that nation and globally. Articles are arranged topically. In addition, we have added a guide to some of the most important, and liveliest, online and print sources on 3.11 including blogs and websites. Second, the list of articles now indicates all those available in Japanese translation or original, as well as other languages.
