A lovely piece of writing, thank you for sharing. I didn't know anything about graduations in Japan so this was really interesting. I imagine earthquakes, and the fear of them, must be quite terrifying, especially seeing the damage they can do.

Thank you for your comment. Many events in Japan are quite ceremonial, and graduations are one of those unique traditions. This season can feel a little bittersweet, but I believe Japan continues to move forward with quiet strength.
