Diet building illumination resumes

TOKYO, Japan - The Diet building in Tokyo is illuminated on Jan. 24, 2014, as nighttime illumination of the Japanese parliament resumes after a nearly three-year hiatus. The illumination, which started in 1990 to mark the centennial of the launch of the Diet, was halted on March 14, 2011, three days after the massive earthquake and tsunami that triggered the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, leading to power shortages in Japan.
