Traditional dance shown for 1st time since disaster

AIZUWAKAMATSU, Japan - Boys perform the traditional "deer dance" of Okuma town, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, in Aizuwakamatsu on July 20, 2014, for the first time since the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. As residents of Okuma are still staying at temporary housing in the Fukushima Prefecture city due to the mishap, performances of the 200-year-old dance have been disrupted.

              Japan marks 11 yrs since quake disaster, Fukushima crisis

              Japan on Friday marked the 11th anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated its northeastern region in 2011, with evacuation orders in more parts of areas contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear crisis expected to be lifted later this year. Residents in the severely affected prefectures of Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi observed a moment of silence at 2:46 p.m., when the massive quake struck the region more than a decade ago and prayed for those who lost their lives. As the central government no longer hosts a memorial service, municipalities in the affected northeastern areas of the Tohoku region held theirs on a smaller scale, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attending a ceremony held in the city of Fukushima. "We will make utmost efforts for the reconstruction of Tohoku," Kishida said in the service attended by around 200 people. "We will promote building of a disaster-resilient nation by constantly reviewing measures to prevent and mitigate disaster damage and protect people's lives."
