Living Q & A: I need more time to recover from a workplace injury, but I was told I would be fired
外国人暮らしのQ＆A「仕事でのケガで療養しているが、更に療養が必要と伝えたら解雇すると言われた」

I'm currently recuperating after being injured at work. Initially, I submitted a medical certificate (shindansho / 診断書)
for a recuperation period of one week to my employer, but it was not long enough for me to recover, and I was thengiven a medical certificate for two weeks' recuperation. When I submitted the second medical certificate, I was toldthat my employment would be terminated because it wasn't clear when I would recover. Can they do that?
When you are injured at work, the expenses incurred in your recuperation (ryōyō / 療養) (or medical treatment [chiryō / 治療]) are provided
through workers' compensation insurance (rōsai hoken / 労災保険, or rōdōsha saigai hoshō hoken / 労働者災害補償保険). In addition, if
you need to be hospitalized or you are otherwise unable to work as you recuperate or undergo treatment, and are unable to receive wages,
you can apply to receive compensation for absence from work (kyūgyō hoshō kyūfu / 休業補償給付) for the period from the 4th day you areunable to work. If you are unable to receive compensation through workers' compensation insurance, despite being injured at work, you will becompensated by your employer (under Chapter VIII of the Labor Standards Act [労働基準法]).
When consulting a medical facility, inform the facility that you were injured at work, and you will be able to receive treatment. (To search forworkers' compensation insurance-accredited medical facilities, see the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare website athttps://bit.ly/3S7Wp1x.) Please note that you cannot use social insurance (shakai hoken / 社会保険) (i.e. your employer's health insurance) for
work-related injuries.
When you receive medical treatment through workers' compensation insurance, payment is to be requested using a designated form, which
you can receive from your nearest Labor Standards Inspection Office, or download from https://bit.ly/3BrncA3.
In principle, the medical treatment compensation benefits (ryōyō hoshō kyūfu / 療養補償給付) one receives through workers' compensation
insurance continue until the recipient has recovered (chiyu / 治癒). 'Recovered' is also used for cases where further improvement is unlikely,
even with continued medical treatment.
Regarding the possibility of termination of employment while an employee is recuperating, Article 19 of the Labor Standards Act states that
'Employers shall not dismiss a Worker during a period of absence for work for medical treatment with respect to injuries suffered in the courseof employment, nor within 30 days thereafter,' therefore there seems to be a problem with dismissing a worker at a time when their absencefrom work is necessary for their recuperation. Please note that this does not apply in cases where absence from work is not necessary for aworker's recuperation, and the standard notification of dismissal may be possible.
If you have a concern or are experiencing an issue with workers' compensation insurance or dismissal, please consult the General Labor
Consultation Corner at your nearest Labor Standards Inspection Bureau Office. Also, the Labor Bureau (rōdōkyoku / 労働局) in each prefecture
provides a foreign workers' consultation corner, and consultations in foreign languages are available at some locations.
If you do not agree with the result after consulting labor-related government organization, you might also consider consulting a lawyer or otherprofessional with a specialist knowledge of labor issues.

is available in person or by telephone at the NIC Information Counter.

What to do when Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information is issued - Advance Evacuation Areas
南海トラフ地震臨時情報（巨大地震警戒）発表時に事前避難が必要な地域があります

Following the occurrence of an earthquake of magnitude 8 or higher in the western area of the Nankai Trough, if the possibility of a further Nankai
Trough earthquake is assessed as being relatively higher than usual, the Japan Meteorological Agency will issue Nankai Trough Extra Information(Megaquake Alert). Areas expected to be inundated (by tsunami, etc.) after the occurrence of a subsequent earthquake, and where residents will
not be able to evacuate before inundation occurs, have been designated Advance Evacuation Areas (jizen hinan taisho chiiki / 事前避難対象地
域). When Nankai Trough Extra Information (Megaquake Alert) has been issued, residents in these areas will be requested to evacuate for one
week.
Residents in Advance Evacuation Areas should evacuate in advance as directed to protect themselves.
Activities within Advance Evacuation Areas will be restricted (businesses will not be able to operate and public facilities will be closed for oneweek). In areas not designated Advance Evacuation Areas, normal activities will continue as residents reconfirm their earthquake preparedness
measures.

Designated Advance Evacuation Areas in Nagoya City

Areas designated Advance Evacuation Areas are those where, due to the subsidence of embankments or levees as a result of seismic motion,
inundation (due to tsunami, etc.) is expected to exceed 30cm within 30 minutes of the occurrence of an earthquake*. Parts of 21 school districts
situated along waterways in 5 wards are designated Advance Evacuation Areas.
*These estimates are based on a worst-case scenario of a magnitude 9-class earthquake and the resulting liquefaction causing extensive damage to levees.

Yoshimura Yoshio: Beyond Hyper-realism
吉村芳生展 −超絶技巧を超えて−Transcendental skill is too
simple a phrase to
explain the art of
Yoshimura Yoshio. Fromthe great number ofself-portraits he continued
to draw day to day andthe newspaper pages hewould replicate characterby character, to a
10-meter drawing ofcolored pencils,
Yoshimura's hyperTo Countless Glittering Lives (detail), 2011-13,
realistic works leave thecolored pencil on paper
viewer dumbfounded.
Born in Yamaguchi
Prefecture in 1950, Yoshimura suddenly garnered attention in 2007 with
the Roppongi Crossing 2007 exhibition (Mori Art Museum) when his
much-talked about exhibited works saw him suddenly become the darlingof the modern art scene at the age of 57. This retrospective presents an
overview of the artist, from his early monotone prints and drawings to thevividly colored floral works of his later years and the self-portraits he drew
throughout his life, until his untimely death in 2013.
Witness for yourself the works of Yoshimura Yoshio, not merely
well-drawn pictures, but meticulous works that question the meaning ofdrawing and life itself.

Communal bathing can be one of the more challenging Japanesecustoms to bring yourself to try, particularly for people from cultures
where the sole purpose of bathing is to get clean. For many Japanesepeople, however, the public bath is not only a place to wash, but also torelax, either on your own or with friends or family.

第56回常滑焼まつり

名古屋のレトロな銭湯

While there are a number of kinds of facilities where the communal bath is
the main attraction, such as 'super sentō' (スーパー銭湯, which often also
have a restaurant, massage service, a comic and magazine reading
room, etc.), smaller local bathhouses, or sentō (銭湯, lit. money + hot
water) also provide their own unique style of bathing experience.
More than just a place to wash and soak in hot water, at sentō you can try
a number of baths with various remedial properties, such as massaging
jet baths, medicated baths and electric current baths. (Watch out for thecold water bath!)
At older sentō you can also enjoy the aesthetic of the bathroom, anddetails such as the tiles, the form of the baths, and, in some cases, theartistry of a mural. Even the changing rooms (where you remove yourclothes before entering the bathroom) have their own distinct atmospherethat can generate feelings of nostalgia in Japanese people accustomed
to their own bathtubs and the more modern facilities of the big supersentō.
Here, we have listed some of the older sentō in Nagoya City where you
can still experience the old local bathhouse atmosphere. To find othersentō in Nagoya or elsewhere in Aichi, see the AICHI SENTO website athttps://aichi1010.jp/ (Japanese).
For those curious about Nagoya's sentō but still uncomfortable with theidea of communal bathing, the Aichi Public Bathhouse Exhibit (see below)
is worth a visit.

Nagoya Festival
名古屋まつりIn autumn, various festivals, or matsuri (祭/まつり) are held all over Japan. Here in
Nagoya, too, the Nagoya Matsuri (Festival) is
scheduled to take place on Sat. 15 and Sun.
16 October for the first time in three years.
Beginning in 1955, Nagoya Matsuri is thebiggest festival in Nagoya.
Photos courtesy of the City of Nagoya
The main attraction of this festival is its
parades, especially the Procession of the Three Feudal Lords - Oda Nobunaga,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu - accompanied by armored warriors.
The “Three Feudal Lords” are played by ordinary citizens. The recruitment procedure
is announced in July. Anyone can apply, though horse-riding ability is essential forthe role of Nobunaga.
On October 15, the parade departs Nagoya Station and ends at Yaba-cho, but takes
a different route on October 16, when it starts at City Hall and travels to Yaba-cho via
Sakae.

The festival will be live streamed this year, so you can enjoy
the festival without leaving the house. Enjoy experiencing
local culture either in person or at home!
*The Dashi-zoroe procession (featuring traditional floats
designated intangible cultural properties of the city) andKodomo-kai (kids’ club) float procession and the youth drum
and fife brigade during the Procession of the Three Feudal
Lords are cancelled this year as part of measures to preventthe spread of COVID-19. Please note that the schedule may
be subject to further changes. See the official website for thelatest information.
