Heatwave in Japan

In recent years, global warming is progressing, as far as my recognition. Heatwaves are recorded in many regions.

The Guardian: Heatwave sees record high temperatures around world this week

Especially in Japan, it is extremely hot. Approximately 1,500 people were brought to emergency due to heat stroke in this summer. At least six people died, unfortunately.

Traditional Japanese were said to have been with nature's rath, instead of attempting to conquer it. Housing was made to enable the wind to pass through the rooms. Furin and yukata are also items to ease our feeling of heat.

In recent Japan, however, we have no room to enjoy summer. The government announces to citizens not to be patient to the heat because it can be fatal.

It is often said that Japanese has lost the traditional Japanese' mind. I think it is simply because we have to adapt ourselves to the environment which has been completely changed.
