A fishmonger working at Tsukiji market in Tokyo was interviewed by a NBC News reporter and the latter related that business has drastically decreased. The main reason was due to the tsunami and earthquake which thumped the northern Japan on the 11 of March.
Tsukiji is the biggest market in the world. There are more than 400 different kind of seafood available daily at affordable price. Yamamoto narrated that the market place was build after the destructive earthquake that hit Japan in 1923. It was the deadliest earthquake ever had since the latest one struck. This natural calamity 88 years ago caused 150,000 people dead and many homeless or missing.
Yamamoto is not anxious only about his business but mostly about the latest news. The inhabitants are more concerned about the radiation leak from the nuclear power plant and sea water contamination. This make people doubt about consumption of fish. The government does not give specific information which makes the population more stressed.
On Tuesday 29 March the Japanese government finally admitted that security which has been placed to protect the nuclear plant were insufficient against this type of natural disaster.Besides, the latest news says that the seawater contains high level of radiations and its intensity keep on rising. The population will not be at peace until the government finds a concrete solution to this matter.
