Illumination event in Sendai

SENDAI, Japan - An annual illumination event starts Dec. 2, 2011, in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, in northeastern Japan, in which zelkova trees are lit up with LED light bulbs. The event's organizers borrowed or bought with donations the light bulbs, since some 550,000 light bulbs they owned were all spoiled by the March 11 tsunami that hit the region. (Kyodo)
