REMEMBRANC­E

-

A woman throws f lowers into the sea for v ictims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan that claimed some 18,500 lives, flattened communitie­s and set off the worst atomic crisis in a generation. As Japan marked the fifth anniversar­y of the March 11 disaster, the coast guard resumed underwater searches for some of the more than 2,500 people still missing. Stretches of Hirota Bay have been reclaimed for building seawalls. Relatives fear that the remains of their loved ones might be buried forever.
