#kazuyukikawahara — Public Fediverse posts

A beautiful book came in the mail today. The Japanese title is hard to translate in less than a few sentences, but it's by #KazuyukiKawahara, one of the four pillars of Kyushu's #DocumentaryLiterature #記録文学 genre. His newest big books spans gaps left from over 50 years of writings on the beautiful mountain hamlet, #Toroku that was poisoned by arsenic mining and production. It's an honor to receive the book and include it with similarly beautiful and important works.

Imagine a better translation. I'll see about helping one day.
> “In 50 years, nearly 100 residents died at an average lifespan of 39 years !!”
The shocking findings were announced at the Miyazaki Prefectural Education and Research Meeting.
The media was surprised and made a big report on this news, and the #MiyazakiPrefecture #PollutionDivision was in a hurry and immediately started a health survey of the residents of Toroku.
