Dispatch from Japan: Pain and resilience

Submitted by RIJS on
Item Description
Rikuzentaka City, Japan (April 6) One week after having left the ravaged coastal city of Rikuzentakata, I descend from the surrounding hills into the disaster area again, this time in a two-ton truck stuffed with a thousand shoes. I don’t notice significant change from before. Rubble still stretches for miles, punctuated by the twisted steel of destroyed structures and the occasional concrete building, gutted of everything, including, in many cases, human life.
