I don't know how to use English , but I don't care that.
I was born in the year of Showa.
Showa is meaning Showa Emperor's term.
Showa Emperor's term was 1926-1988.
So we call the year of 1955 Showa 30 , 1945 Showa 20 , 1935 Showa 10.
And the next Heisei Emperor's term is 1988-now , so this year 2013 is Heisei 25.
Today's picture is scene of lake Okutama construction at the westside of Tokyo.
The letters written on bottom of picture are meaning it was Showa 17 July.
Showa 17 is 1942.
And I want write about the lake.
The construction started 1936 , finished 1957.
This lake is also known as Ogohchi Reservoir.
When the amount of water of Tokyo gets low , this reservoir starts working.
So this lake saving our lives for almost 60years.
The lake is surrounded by the woods because the woods are needed to reserve rain water under the ground.
The government of municipality taking care of both the lake and the woods.
Saving nature is saving water like rivers and lakes.
Same as other countries we learned how hard to protect the environment.
Water can't stay without the woods , woods can't live without the healthy ground , healthy ground can't be keeped without clean water.
So we have to keep the health of environment totally.
Most of these knowledge to protect the environment are from Europe I heard.
Germany and Swedish are our suggested model.
Welcome the nice globalization time!
Let's make this planet more smaller and semi for our better life...
