Living Q & A: Can I just quit my job without saying anything to my employer?
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「職場に何も言わないで辞めることはできるか」

I am employed by a temporary employment agency (haken-gaisha / 派遣会社), and am working at a company that theagency has dispatched me to. I am subjected to power harassment at this company. Staff speak to me very harshly
when they tell me what to do, and give me a hard time. I want to quit this job, but I can't bring myself to say it. I can't
seem to make myself understood when I try to tell the person from the employment agency. Can I just leave this job
without saying anything to my current workplace, and work somewhere else?

When you work at a company, usually you will have agreed to work in abidance with the employment contract (koyō keiyaku / 雇用契約) (ornotification of working conditions [rōdō jōken tsūchisho / 労働条件通知書]). The employment contract or work regulations (shūgyō kisoku /就業規則) usually specify the procedure for an employee to give notice of their resignation, including how far in advance you are required to givenotice, when an employee wants to resign midway through the contract period. Likewise, the law, too, assumes that, for a resignation to beformally realized, the employee will give notice themselves.
Suddenly quitting without giving any notification carries the risk of causing a disruption to scheduled business operations at the place of work.
The company may seek to impose penalties upon you (e.g. seeking compensation [songai baishō / 損害賠償]) for being in infringement of theconditions of the employment contract, and you may even lose the worker's rights that you would have acquired by working.
On the subject of harassment in the workplace, which seems to have been what prompted this issue, an employer has an obligation to takemeasures to prevent harassment in the workplace through such things as providing opportunities for workers to consult the employer about
issues, and the establishment of a system to respond appropriately to issues. You could try consulting your employer's human resources office asa first step.
If you find it difficult to consult someone at your workplace (or employer), you can consult the general labor consultation corner (sōgō rōdo
sōdan kona / 総合労働相談コーナー) within the labor bureau (rōdōkyoku / 労働局) or labor standards inspection office (rōdō kijun
kantokusho / 労働基準監督署) in each prefecture. The general labor consultation corner provides consultations to foreign workers in a diverse
range of languages.
(For more information, see the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website at https://bit.ly/3zsInjc (Japanese).
If, even after consulting the general labor consultation corner, you do not agree with the outcome, you can receive a legal consultation with alawyer. Legal consultations available include those for residents at the municipal office of the municipality in which you live; those for foreign
residents at Nagoya International Centre and other organizations promoting international exchange and multicultural coexistence; and those of
the Japan Legal Support Center's Houterasu (法テラス) consultation service (https://www.houterasu.or.jp/). Select a consultation service that is
appropriate for your needs.

What is Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information?

南海トラフ地震臨時情報とは？

If you have ever participated in a disaster preparedness workshop in Japan, you have probably heard about the possibility of a ‘Tokai Earthquake’or ‘Tonankai Earthquake’ occurring at any time. Strong earthquakes originating in the Nankai Trough, i.e. the area between Suruga Bay (Shizuoka
Prefecture) and the Hyūga Sea (off the eastern shore of Kyushu), have caused much damage and loss of life in the past.
The next Nankai Trough earthquake could cause extensive damage across a large area extending from the Kanto region westwards including theTokai region, Shikoku and Kyushu. Tsunami caused by the earthquake could inflict tremendous damage and casualties on coastal areas. In areas
estimated to be at risk of heavy damage and casualties, it is important that preparations are made to protect the lives of residents. One measurethat could help to save lives is Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information (Nankai torafu jishin rinji jōhō / 南海トラフ地震臨時情報).
Large-scale earthquakes have occurred along the Nankai Trough at intervals of between 100 and 200 years. History has also shown that, rather
than a single quake, a pair of magnitude 8-class quakes have occurred in succession in the eastern and western sections of the Nankai Trougharea. For example, the Ansei Tōkai Earthquake of 1854 (magnitude 8.6, eastern section) was followed 32 hours later by the Ansei Nankai
Earthquake (magnitude 8.7, western section); and the Shōwa Tōnankai Earthquake of 1944 (magnitude 8.2, eastern section) was followed around2 years later by the Showa Nankai Earthquake (magnitude 8.4, western section) in 1946. (*Although in these cases the eastern section quake
preceded that in the western section, it is possible that a quake could occur in the western section first.)
In situations such as an earthquake of a certain scale occurring along the Nankai Trough, when it is assessed that the possibility of a subsequent
Nankai Trough megaquake occurring is higher than usual, the Japan Meteorological Agency will issue a bulletin called Nankai TroughEarthquake Extra Information, which serves as a warning that a megaquake may be imminent. The announcement will also include phrases
such as Megaquake Alert (kyodai jishin keikai / 巨大地震警戒) or Megaquake Advisory (kyodai jishin chūi / 巨大地震注意) to clarify the need forauthorities and residents to take measures to prepare for a possible quake.
It is important to understand that Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is not like the Earthquake Early Warning System (kinkyū jishinsokuhō / 緊急地震速報), which notifies residents that an earthquake of seismic intensity 5 or higher is expected via mobile phones, TV, radio, etc.,
sometimes seconds before an earthquake occurs. Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information may be issued as early as 2 hours after anearthquake has occurred in one section (e.g. western section) of the Nankai Trough area, once the preceding earthquake has been analyzed andthe probability of a megaquake in the other section (e.g. eastern section) assessed.
Given the intervals between the historical pairs of Nankai Trough earthquakes mentioned above (32 hours / 2 years), it may not be clear how muchadvance warning the Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information may provide. Once issued, it will be important to stay calm and prepare. In
some parts of Nagoya City, residents may be required to evacuate once the Extra Information is issued.

Moon Viewing at Tokugawaen - Scoop up the Moon

ノーマン・ロックウェル展

月を掬う 徳川園観月会

Seto Novelty is the name of a genre ofporcelain ornaments, decorations andfigurines which were produced in Seto andloved by people around the world. The
production of porcelain ornaments
originated in 15th-century Italy and18th-century Germany; those produced in
Seto, Aichi, after the Second World War
were exported to America and othermarkets. The pieces based on the worksof Norman Rockwell, the popular illustrator
who depicted nostalgic American scenes,
cannot be overlooked when discussing
Seto Novelties. Rockwell's well-known
works were transformed by Seto's
artisans, who produced prototypes andemployed casting techniques to render
three-dimensional compositions unseen in the original illustrations. The
decoration of the figurines further imbues the pieces with rich, humanemotion. It was these exquisite, high-quality pieces, based on the works ofa popular artist, that led the Seto Novelty genre to flourish.
See the splendor of Seto porcelain production and enjoy a heartwarming
glimpse at American life.

authorities protected Arimatsu-shibori as special product of the domain.
The Great Tenmei Fire (1784) destroyed much of the town, however, andmany of the structures erected during the reconstruction were covered inroof tiles (kawara / 瓦). Ever since, shibori, and the kawara tiles that haveprotected the town, have been indispensable for Arimatsu.
This award-winning event sees Arimatsu evenings adorned with the warm
glow of new illuminating artworks, the product of the collaboration between
dyeing and tile-making artisans and the traditional techniques of shibori

Read the New Hazard Maps ②

新しくなったハザードマップを読もう②

From September 2022, the City of Nagoya will introduce new hazard maps for earthquakes and tsunami. The maps are published in Japanese on theCity of Nagoya website, but if you can recognize some key expressions, you will be able to get useful information from the map that could save your life
and the lives of those around you. Make time to study the hazard maps for your home, school, or workplace, and help yourself to be prepared for whenan emergency arises.
★See the NIC website at https://bit.ly/3d5ICJx for links to the new hazard maps for your ward.

Earthquake hazard maps

地震ハザードマップ

The information shown on the new earthquake hazard map is based on damage projections for two potential scenarios for an earthquake
originating in the Nankai Trough (see page 5 for more on the Nankai Trough earthquake); specifically, the estimated largest class of earthquake
based on both historical data, and a range of other possible factors.
The maps feature estimates of seismic intensity, liquefaction, and designated emergency assembly points (sites where you can initially evacuatefrom the immediate danger of tremors and fires) and places to obtain water.
