6 years after the quake @Ginza: March 11, 2017

Six years have passed after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Nearly 20 thousands of people were killed or went missing by the disaster. More than 400 thousands of people were forced to live in temporary houses away from their hometowns.

Today, 123 thousands people still live in temporary houses. No concrete plans are made to decommission the damaged nuclear reactors at Fukushima Nuclear Power Station 1.

There appeared a display on the building in Ginza to commemorate the disaster.

A red line is drawn horizontally at 16.3 meter high. It is the highest level of the tsunami which attacked Ofunato city in Iwate Prefecture six years ago.
