What the photographer saw

Japanese monks chant a Buddhist sutra and pray for the tsunami victims as they walk around the disaster area and alongside the Kesen River, which flows next to Kesencho, Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, on the eve of the one-year-anniversary, March 10, 2012. When the earthquake and the tsunami hit Northern Japan on March 11, 2011, more than 200 villagers lost their lives in Kesencho. Many victims are still missing.
