At 02:46:23 PM(JST), on Friday, March 11, 2011, the huge earthquake of M 9.0 occurred beneath the Pacific side of the northeastern Japan from Tohoku to Kanto area and it has caused one of history’s worst human and property damages. Although it is very difficult to estimate the extent of damage accurately at this moment, there is no question that this earthquake caused the greatest damage never before experienced by us. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by the 2011 off the pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake.
