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. A young man from Sendai came to Kamaishi to volunteer for the reconstrucion of the city. He has been sleeping on the second floor of a house affected by the tsunami for over 20 days. A small cat is keeping him company. Another danger in the air is the asbestos released when the old houses were destroyed. 22 August, 2011. Gianni Giosue ©
