神戸三宮では、12月の約二週間に渡り「神戸ルミナリエ」が開かれます。これは阪神・淡路大震災の記憶を語り継ぎ、犠牲者の鎮魂を祈ることを目的として、1995年以来続けられています。エリックと私も出かけ、大混雑の中、電飾で彩られた街を歩きました。
Lights for the souls
There is an event called “Kobe Luminarie” in Sannomiya for about two weeks in December every year. This has been happening since 1995, to commemorate the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and to pray for the souls of the victims. Eric and I went down and strolled around the lit-up streets among a big crowd of people.
約 = yaku: about
祈る = inoru: to pray
目的 = mokuteki: purpose(s)
中 = naka: among, in the middle
