TOKYO (AP) -- Last Sunday was the six-month anniversary of the day the massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan's northeast coast. Some 20,000 people are dead or missing. More than 800,000 homes were completely or partially destroyed. The disaster crippled businesses, roads and infrastructure. The Japanese Red Cross Society estimates that 400,000 people were displaced. Half a year later, there are physical signs of progress. Much of the debris has been cleared away or at least organized into big piles. In the port city of Kesennuma, many of the boats carried inland by the tsunami have been removed. Most evacuees have moved out of high school gyms and into temporary shelters or apartments. Last week the Kyodo News agency distributed an amazing group of combination photographs showing three scenes. The first scene is right after the earthquake and tsunami hit, then three months later and finally, how the scene looks now. (44 images)

The animated shorts are written and directed by Rintaro, Yoshiaki Kawajiri and Katsuhiro Otomo, based on the work of Japanese novelist Taku Mayumura.Rintaro's Labyrinth Labyrinthos is an exploration into the maze of a little girl's mind. Kawajiri's The Running Man focuses on a deadly Formula-1 race. Otomo's Construction Cancellation Order is a cautionary tale about man's dependency on technology.Two of the shorts are notable for prominently featuring pieces of famous Western classical music: "Gymnopédies No. 1" by Erik Satie is used in Labyrinth, and "Morning" from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suites is used in a highly ironic manner in Construction Cancellation Order.The film premiered April 15, 1986 in Japan.

Using insects like an anthropologists toolkit, the film uncovers Japanese philosophies that will shift Westerners perspectives on nature, beauty, life, and even the seemingly mundane realities of their day—to—day routines.Jessica Oreck

Japan caught in slow. This is for my hometown.

In Tokyo the average household is less than 2 people, and these smaller households seek new connections with neighbors, colleagues, and friends. I think the most radical suggestion is that an awareness of other people living around you might be considered a positive feature rather than something to be concealed or suppressed.

But despite a history stretching back 100 years, sento murals are at risk of dying out along with the tradition of hadaka no tsukiai, or naked friendship, as more urban Japanese choose to bathe at home. At their peak in the late 1960s, there were more than 2,500 sento in Tokyo; now there are fewer than 1,000.

- Un guide de Tokyo axé sur la dynamique de zones à voir: de, à, en passant par, pas trop une liste de lieux.

À l’échelle de Tokyo, il paraît que c’est une hécatombe. Un grand nombre d’expatriés ont ainsi choisi d’interrompre prématurément leur juteuse carrière nipponne pour aller, avec femme et enfants, voir ailleurs si c’était pas moins irradié qu’ici.

I do not want to be a judge in my photography. I want to be a witness in my photography. A faithful witness of my own vision. A vision which I know is shaped and skewed by my upbringing and my life’s experiences.

Change is never easy, but in this case, it would also come with some real challenges. There is the crucial question of how a change would affect the recruiting schedule, as the current system revolves around an April start date.
