After the March 11th earthquake last year I wrote a series of e-mails to friends and family. I had several reasons; I wanted to let everyone know how everyone was doing in Japan (as far as I knew) and I was frustrated with the media overseas for their distortions and weaselly misrepresentations of the situation, but most of all I was trying to process what was going on around me and generally keep a lid on what was, at times, the most stressful thing I’d been through.

I have archived them all below. They span a year, and I don’t know if there will be more, but for now this is the complete set! I offer them as I originally sent them.
