Big Eruption of Volcano SAKURAJIMA in Kagoshima, Japan (PM18:09, 27 April 2015)
I made a mistake and the video is very short (only 4 seconds).
But I hope you can feel the large scale of the eruption.
The huge volcanic smoke covers Kagoshima City.
(Today's Mt.Sakurajima Video)
Much ash is falling on the city.
I just got home when I took the video. On my way home, I felt small ash particles came into my nose and mouth.
When I get home, my car is covered with white ashes as if it is a big shortcake. I will be busy washing the car tomorrow...
(My feelings toward Mt.Sakurajima)
I feel the greatness and power of the nature and tiny existence of human beings when I live at the neighborhood of Mt.Sakurajima. Humankind has made much scientific advancement, but it will never be able to prevent natural calamities such as volcano eruption, earthquakes and tidal waves.
But, at the same time, I also feel the greatness of humankind. Series of massive eruptions of Mt.Sakurajima have destroyed houses, ships, shrines, shipyard and other precious property of Kagoshima with much lava and ash.
But people have never given up living at the neighborhood of Japan and they made new home and facilities on lava and ash which had buried their properties. I really admire the spirit of enterprises of those people in Kagoshima, Japan!
(Know about Mt.Sakurajima)
Mt.Sakurajima's official name is Sakura Island.
But strangely enough, the Island is not acturally an island, because it is connected to Osumi Peninsula and you can go there by car withought taking a ferry.
There used to be a strait between Osumi Peninsula and Sakura Island. But in 1914, enormous eruption took place and much lava slowly flew out to the southeast of the island and buried the strait, As a result, the land was connect to the Peninsula.

Mt. Sakurajima is located in the south of Kyushu Island, Japan.
