Extract

“Ganbaro ya!” was a phrase of encouragement that could be heard, seen, and felt all over Kobe, Japan following the devastating 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. Having the collective meaning of “It's hard, but keep trying! Together we'll succeed! Go! Go! Go!” Ganbaro ya became the mantra of the citizens of Kobe as they struggled to rebuild their lives and community.
