Japanese owner reunited with buoy lost in tsunami

MINAMISANRIKU, Japan - Sakiko Miura caresses a fish-farm buoy in Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture, on June 13, 2012. American David Baxter shipped her the buoy that was lost in the March 2011 tsunami and later found on an island off Alaska. Miura, 63, is believed to be the first Japanese to receive a washed-up item from Japan's disaster-hit region sent back from overseas.
