After the Kumamoto earthquake, Mashiki-cho, which was particularly severely damaged in the prefecture, called on residents like this. "Gamadasu" means do your best. The number of supporters will eventually decrease, but the difficulties involved in the reconstruction will increase. It's a long way. If you stay over-tensioned, you'll snap. So take it easy once in a while. From "Yaoikan Kumamoto Earthquake" by Yoshito Iwanaga, Yomiurishimbun reporter who covered the stricken area. "Yaoikan" means "very hard."
