Pictures | Then now: Tuoku, 14 years after the Great East earthquake

Today's primary school children have not experienced a great east earthquake, which struck the Tuoko region on March 11, 2011. For many of them, it is something they only know from textbooks.

Over time, fewer people who have suffered from the disaster will remain, and their memories gradually fade.

In 2025, we photographed the areas affected by the earthquake, and carefully aligned our footage with those taken in the wake. While some roads differed – using aircraft instead of helicopters – the changes in the scene were amazing.

Some cities have moved, while others have completely turned, without being familiar like mountains, it is difficult to believe that they are in the same places.

However, along the coast, where the tsunami swept the buildings, the signs of recovery are clear. It took time, but life gradually returns. I hope these pictures encourage people to think about the disaster and keep their memory alive.
