• The purpose of this study was to examine the essays written by children who experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake in order to clarify the characteristics of these essays and explore about the possibilities for posttraumatic growth (PTG) from the five factors in Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by Tedeschi & Calhoun (1996). Totally 161 essays written by school-aged children were extracted for text mining analysis. The average length of the essays was 601.9 characters and there were a total of 6,052 sentences. The total number of content words for all the essays analyzed was 39,415, and 6,465 words were retrieved. We see clearly in the children's essays the spiritual growth of these young people who had undergone such trauma during the Great East Japan Earthquake, including injuries and serious illness, the death of loved ones, and total disruption of their lives. From out of the various tragedies from the disaster, we see PTG clearly revealed.
