Tokyo Lens | Surviving Japan's Disaster | What Was It Like To Live Through 3.11? @TokyoLens | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
Exactly 10 years ago, Japan was hit with one of the worst earthquakes in recorded Japanese history, followed by a devastating tsunami that wiped out much of the Tohoku coastline. Much was lost and the survivors of this disaster have spent the last decade reliving the same day over and over as they share their stories.
Backstory: I found myself in a small town in Northern Japan called Unosumai. The town had been completely wiped out by the earthquake and tsunami, and as I talked to the people and listened to their stories, I felt like I had to come back... I had to immortalize these tales. When a woman working at an Inn told me that from 2021 she would stop sharing her story, and start living her life, it was the final straw. I asked her and others if I could come back and capture their stories of strength and survival. And a few weeks later, with cameras in hand, I went back to visit. While this is but a small drop in the bucket of the amazing stories from 3.11 I feel fortunate to have been able to capture and share these. Thank you to everyone who took part in making this possible
