The last time Setsuko Kida was home was Oct. 7 last year. She forgot her keys, and in an angry moment, she scrawled graffiti on her front door: “This house cost $320,000 21 years ago, TEPCO paid us $90,000, and we still owe $70,000 on our loan. Bureaucrats, politicians, Reconstruction Agency, TEPCO, Keidanren and PM Abe: Before you say anything, TRY LIVING HERE FOR A WHILE!”
去年10月7日。木田さん自身が自宅の玄関ドアに書いた政府、東電への抗議文。
その日は、うっかり玄関の鍵を忘れて中に入れなかったという。
