In just over a week, a group of unpaid professional and citizen journalists who met on Twitter created a book to raise money for Japanese Red Cross earthquake and tsunami relief efforts. In addition to essays, artwork and photographs submitted by people around the world, including people who endured the disaster and journalists who covered it, 2:46: Aftershocks: Stories from the Japan Earthquake contains a piece by Yoko Ono, and work created specifically for the book by authors William Gibson, Barry Eisler and Jake Adelstein. "The primary goal," says the book's editor, a British resident of Japan, "is to record the moment, and in doing so raise money for the Japanese Red Cross Society to help the thousands of homeless, hungry and cold survivors of the earthquake and tsunami. The biggest frustration for many of us was being unable to help these victims. I don't have any medical skills, and I'm not a helicopter pilot, but I can edit. A few tweets pulled together nearly everything - all the participants, all the expertise - and in just over a week we had created a book including stories from an 80-year-old grandfather in Sendai, a couple in Canada waiting to hear if their relatives were okay, and a Japanese family who left their home, telling their young son they might never be able to return." Neither quakebook.org nor the publisher of this book receive any monies from it; all sales after essential print and distribution costs go to charity. If you'd like to donate more, please visit the Japanese Red Cross Society website, where you can donate either via Paypal or bank transfer (watch out for the fees, though!) or the American Red Cross Society, which accepts donations directed to its Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund (but only accepts donations made with U.S.-issued credit cards). And of course, if you like the book, please tell your friends, and tell them to give generously as well! Thank you! Japan really does appreciate your help!

人々のコメントを無条件で掲載しているようです。
東京で電車に乗っていたら、揺れた、とかの類はまだいいのですが、
韓国人が3,11とはまったく関係ない、「従軍慰安婦」で日本人を非難するだけのコメントを記載している等、内容は疑問です。

Out of all the tweets, blog posts, Facebook updates and everything in between, which flew around in the initial couple of weeks following the beginning of the quakes in Japan on March 11th. 2011, something coalesced together - partly intended as a record of note of the event and those affected by it, whether locally or internationally, and partly intended as a form of fund raising effort for those survivors of the tsunami, with the side-effect of raising awareness of what actually happened.
That thing was the #quakebook - "2:46 : Aftershocks : Stories from the Japan Earthquake" brought together by a cadre of essentially Japan based bloggers and Twitter fanatics, led by the most certainly not attention seeking @ourmaninabiko. I say that because even though it's simple enough to find out who he is, he's made a keen point with reporters and others not to be named in the media, and largely it seems like they've complied.
The book is currently only available as an e-book, for 9.99USD from most versions of Amazon, so I've just read mine in a single sitting, taking just a couple of hours.
This has been of interest to me, not just as a form of donation whilst receiving something, but because I myself was in much the same situation as many of the people whose accounts are in there, having been on the 20th floor of an office building in central Tokyo when the quakes began. What @ourmaninabiko and his team has done is capture a cross section of experiences from inside the country and from the outside, looking in. I suspect what I found most interesting were those entries which were not like my experience.
To start off, one of the passages which struck me was that by Andy Heather writing from Kyoto:
"But what hurts is the idea that the earthquakes were like seeing a loved one getting beaten and being unable to stop it."
One of the topics, certainly in the foreign community, was of those who left Japan in the week or two following the M9 quake the - `flyjin' - and one of those was @sandrajapandra / Sandra Barron, who I began to follow on twitter the day after the quake for news and opinion, and who surprised me by announcing she was moving to LA, with obviously mixed emotions. Her account in Aftershocks ('Leaving') was the first time I realised why she'd left. It's an interesting and personal debate. (Addendum - I should note she did return to Japan a few weeks later.)
If there's one thing everyone should know who maybe (fortunately) has not been in that situation where you're on the fringe of a massive disaster, and with options, is that everyone should do what they feel is right for them. There's no value in duress or forcing people into a position - things are tense enough as it is.
The book isn't all Twitter users and bloggers, some of the writers are noted professionals, and it's worth mentioning their contributions. Truthfully, with Yoko Ono, whilst I appreciate her support, I found her contribution overly self promotional, with little to add.
Jake Adelstein however, a well known true crime writer and reporter in Japan, juxtaposed a case he was reporting on of a (completely not quake related) double suicide in the face of personal debt, against the disaster in Tohoku and the sacrifices people are making there to keep the country safe. For the two debtors, no one in their apartments knew them, no one at work knew them. No one missed them or even claimed their ashes. In Tohoku whole communities sheltering each other in turn. The effect is almost hypnotic, and echoed something I'd wondered about just after the quake - how this would effect Japan's infamously high suicide rate.That entry, `Muenbotoke' is worth the price of admission.
William Gibson, the cyberpunk freak who probably turned me most on to Tokyo as a brand, contributes something totally Gibson - what is your memory of Tokyo and Japan? A man sitting naked, totally still, on the edge of a table in an open window, as seen by Gibson from a taxi speeding past on a raised expressway. It's not notably quake related, but perhaps captures the something `other' of Japan.
In all then, it's a well rounded and a well meaning collection, pulling together many facets of the disaster in one place. In some ways something like this may be worth updating over the years as people look back on the effect the event has had on Japan, and will continue to have.
If there's a question on the work, it's that there seems to be few accounts from Japanese in the tsunami hit areas, or from the Fukushima exclusion zone, but given the time frame it was put together, it would've been difficult to include these, and still get it out for the world to read. Perhaps in a retrospective in a year or so these will be included. A paper, and Japanese language version is also in the works.
Overall then, even if you ignore the charitable nature of the work, it's worth the money and the read to get a feel for what these events do to the people, beyond what the rather dumb and crass mass media has failed to achieve. The brief nature of many accounts actually increases the impact, there's no time for dwelling, just the basic emotional facts behind an event which took over 20,000 people away in just a few hours, and left a nation digging it's heels in for years to come.

Inspirational, and a Great Cause
2013年2月26日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book offers a fantastic read. The stories contained within it are inspiring, positive and truly showcase the beauty of humanity, and the power of nature. Everyone experienced the power of the Japan Tsunami, but to read true accounts of the minutes in which the world was shaken, is something quite extraordinary. The book is well put together, and knowing that it is for such a worthy cause means that people can go on to spread the word and encourage others to read this book too. I highly recommend this book!

Finding compassion in devistation
2014年3月17日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book is heartbreaking and amazing at the same time. I am not prepared to say more than that other than it was a very good read even if I cannot say I enjoyed it but that is because of the material not the writing. The content is not for everyone mind you but I think most people should read this book just so they can have the compassion for their fellow man that is portrayed in this book.
