On March 11,2011 a magnitude 9.0 earthquake on the Richter scale hit Japan. A tsunami of gigantic proportions followed. On Agust 11th, 5 months after the quake I set on a personal journey on foot from Sendai to Kamaishi, about 210 Km to document the evolution of the situation. During a summer festival a young man performs a fire dance to wish well for the future. Especially in the countriside superstitions abound. 20 August, 2011. Gianni Giosue ©
