Two storms are approaching Japan's main lands; one is climatic, and the other is political or somehow military. An unexpected winter low-pressure front covers the west to the east of Japan. Some victims are reported in a town that is quite close to my home twenty minutes ride by car.

Another "storm" is about small islands that are located in Japan Sea. China's military has newly announced to settle an ADIZ, that surely cross Japan's ADIZ. Abe administration made a quick negative response to that quasi-military action. This must make an impact onto markets within two to three days.
