One of the many victims of this epic disaster was Nippon Paper Industries' Ishinomaki Paper Mill, which was so flooded and covered in debris that it was completely shut down. NPI provided around 40% of the paper used by Japan's publishing industry and its Ishinomaki mill--home to one of the largest paper machines in the world--was its core production facility. Loss of this plant would have been a devastating blow. When the factory's leader Hiromi Kurata announced that the mill would be producing paper again in just six months, few believed him. The city of Ishinomaki still had no power, no gas, and no water. Even finding food and shelter was a challenge for many, and the plant was so covered in debris that large parts were still inaccessible. Even so, the burden of saving their company, their city, and even the Japanese publishing industry had been placed on the shoulders of the mill's employees. Their story is a monument to the indomitable spirit of the Japanese worker." -- Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan, 2011. 610 20 $a Nihon Seishi Ishimaki KoÌjoÌ. 650 0 $a Paper industry $z Japan. 650 0 $a Papermaking $z Japan. 650 0 $a Disaster relief $z ToÌhoku Region. $z ToÌhoku Region. 710 1 $a Gonzalez, Tony, $e translator. 830 0 $a Japan library (Shuppan Bunka SangyoÌ ShinkoÌ Zaidan) 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150520012148.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150502024211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=962618E0F09111E4AF152ED3DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
