I would like to express my heartfelt sympathies to those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on January 1 this year, and pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives.

We are making up a detailed report of the damage situation at our university, but no human casualties have been reported up to now.
As aftershocks are still continuing, I would like to ask you to put safety first when restoring your laboratory.

I pray that those affected by the disaster will be able to return to their normal calm and healthy lives as soon as possible.
