Meanderer, Why are there so few children to teach? :magnify:
It doesn't seem surprising. I don't know where Nanmoku is located... but since 2011, the tsunami and all the major impact to the area then and after the fact, it probably still is bleak and unlivable in many areas. Those who could get away from the disaster area probably did quickly.

Nanmoku is a mountainous community in central Japan.
Japan's Oldest Community
One funny part of this article is that a monkey broke into an abandoned home and stole some hair dye.
But the decline of the population isn't anything new, really - it's following the trend throughout Japan (and the U.S., among other developed countries) of the rural population moving to the large cities. That's been going on for many decades now.

Fukushima is roughly 175 miles northeast of Nanmoku.
Again today, another hit ... Can't imagine what life is like for those people.
A 6.8-magnitude earthquake has hit Japan's northern coast near the nuclear power plant crippled in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Japan's Meteorological Agency says the quake struck early Saturday 10 kilometers (6 miles) below the sea surface off the coast of Fukushima, northeast of Tokyo.
The agency issued tsunami advisory along the Japanese northern coast.
Public broadcaster NHK says the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant is checking if there is any damage from the quake.
The 2011 disaster killed about 19,000 people. That disaster also triggered multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima plant. More than 100,000 people are still unable to go home due to fear of radiation contamination from the plant.

Luckily they only had an 8" tsunami this time, and only one injury - an elderly lady fell down some stairs.
They deserve a break, but sitting on the edges of all those plates I doubt they'll get the kind of break they'd like.
