Imagine that you are now walking down a street in Japan. Suddenly, a loud noise erupts, and the ground beneath your feet begins to shake violently. You face immense danger! In the following minutes, many things happen around you, one after another, so fast that it’s almost suffocating. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it’s not an ordinary journey—you don’t need to take a plane, car, or ship. In fact, you can travel through time without leaving your home! Open the book, and time flies by at your fingertips: hours, days, or even years. Each moment—i.e., each stop in your journey—is a new chapter in the story: the initial violent shaking, the collapse of buildings, the ground cracking open, the collapse of bridges, landslides, tsunamis, flames spreading across the ruins of the city, people rescuing survivors from under the stones, and years later, museums reconstructed to recreate those thrilling moments—all telling the story of the great earthquake.
