My friend and I are restoring our friendship by shaking hands. As a nation, Japan became a united people during the disaster. We helped each other, so I want everybody else to help each other too. I value helping each other and everyone uniting during this disaster.

Medium: Paint, colored pencil

I live with my father, mother, grandmother and younger sister. Everybody is kind and nice. I belong to a baseball team and I play all the time. I like baseball. I don’t have anything I don’t like. My goal is to win the high school baseball tournament, become a professional player and become famous.

6.13.12 Letter #11
Dear Friends of America,

Thank you for the letter to us and your well-painted pictures. I have never imagined and was delighted to know that such a great country as America cared for such a small country like Japan about the earthquake and Tsunami. The earthquake and Tsunami were powerful, frighting, and caused us distress, but you cheered us on and we feel fine now. Your pictures are great and you are all good at painting. I leaned a lot from your pictures, because they are very different from ours. I am very happy to exchange our pictures with you. Thank you very much.
