Cherry blossoms(sakura) that bloom in elementary school in Fukushima. Children cannot go out at time in the school due to the accident of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. It is easy for children to receive effects of atomic radiation. The window of the schoolhouse remains closing still so that the radiation should not enter.

Story

Cherry blossoms(sakura) that bloom in elementary school in Fukushima.
Children cannot go out at time in the school due to the accident of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
It is easy for children to receive effects of atomic radiation.
So the window of the schoolhouse remains closing still so that the radiation should not enter.

I hope the day where it can run in the schoolyard children's being relieved early comes.
I want children to see next year's cherry blossoms from the outside of the schoolhouse.
