Here's a bit of news (with a video in Japanese) about the activities of the Kumamoto Jikei Hospital, which is known internationally for the "baby hatch" it has established to save the lives of babies that might otherwise be abandoned by their mothers. First of all, if you are unfamiliar with what the people at Jikei Hospital have been doing, here's a link to a set of Japan Times articles to help you catch up.

Now, here's the news. A variety of Japanese media are reporting that an international association (The IABB --> International Association of Baby Boxes) has been established and that a web site ("HP") has been built for the association. Though nothing is said in the reports that I've seen about the site being multilingual, I thought that the site might have an English side that I could introduce on this page.

So, I searched, and searched, and . . . well, you get the idea . . . I came up more-or-less empty handed. I was able to find lots of web-based articles that introduce the new web page as their main story -- but NONE of them include a URL! The failure of Japanese news organizations to provide links -- even when the whole point of the news article is to introduce a web site -- never ceases to amaze me.

It was just last month when I had a similar problem finding the web site about tattoo-friendly onsen in Oita that was discussed in an NHK news report:

I was ultimately able to get the URL by sending an e-mall to the organization that was mentioned in the story.

Sigh . . .

P.S. Here's a link to an NHK article about the new baby box website (which doesn't contain a link to it, of course):
