Murakami: "We have to write stories to encourage the Japanese people" Barcelona (Editorial) .- The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami has received on Thursday the XXIII International Prize of Catalonia in the hand of the President of the Generalitat, Artur Mas. Murakami has explained in his speech that he will donate the entire amount of the prize, worth 80,000 euros to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami of March 11 in Japan.
Murakami has made his speech at an anti-nuclear argument, which has toned Japanese collective self-criticism by the accident of the central Fukushima has blamed the pursuit of profitability. The writer began with a humorous nod to the words "Bona nit, Barcelona, ​​to quote Lady Gaga", but has continued in a stern tone with a devastating speech against nuclear power.
In his words excited, Murakami recalled that the earthquake wiped out "the base of the lives of many people: family, friends, homes, belongings," and probably also with the desire to live a few survivors, but "being behaves Japanese live with natural disasters like typhoons, volcanic activity and earthquakes. "
Murakami has exhibited a certain determinism when he played some scientific predictions that promise "a major earthquake in the next 20 years in the Tokyo region, which could be tomorrow." Determinism that coexists with the belief that "there is no state that will last forever," that "all that is just dying out, for there is nothing immutable." However, has refused to be entirely pessimistic when he pointed out that "the Japanese accept the disasters of nature as inevitable, but always come back to get up, and this may have influenced our aesthetic sensibilities."
An aesthetic sensibility that leads them to make hundreds of miles to see live the colors of autumn trees. The writer has abandoned Tokyo Blues conformist that tone when he spoke of the nuclear accident in Fukushima. "This unfortunately has happened because the people who built the plant does not take into account that there could be a tsunami of this magnitude and because the company spent many years without taking seriously the possibility, and what happened profoundly affects our ethics and our model. " After the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, Japan has suffered now, recalled the award, the "second nuclear Unfortunately in its history", but this time is different: "we would have sought ourselves."
Murakami asks "Where was the anti-nuclear movement that was after the Second World War" and ends in a critical tone: "The power companies claimed in their advertising that was more energy efficient, ie the most profitable, and when we found Japan has had the third in nuclear and 30% of the energy came from nuclear power plants. "
To the opponents of nuclear energy, said they were called "unrealistic dreamer" and that is how they are now, "Nuclear reactors have opened the gates of hell." "The Japanese should have renounced nuclear energy and we should not have been guided by the criterion of efficiency easy." "We must burn again in our hearts the message of the monument in Hiroshima's Peace 'Rest in peace, because the error is never repeated,'" recalled the Japanese writer.
Murakami has concluded his speech with words like "solidarity with earthquake victims in Lorca." At the same ceremony, the president thanked Artur Mas Catalan speaking to Murakami and recalled that "Catalonia without suffering strictly natural phenomena, has also had its particular earthquakes and tsunamis in history."
