Hiroshi Kainuma thinks a lot about Fukushima. He¡¯s written a number of books and held hundreds of lectures on the crisis since 2012, but these days, he¡¯s concerned with the public¡¯s perception of his hometown.
Kainuma is a sociologist, born in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, a city located about 30 km south of the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
During more than 200 lectures he¡¯s interacted with thousands of people, giving him an insight into what they think, and perhaps more telling, how they feel, about the prefecture and its people.
