We are sure that by now everyone is aware of the recent disaster in Japan. For anyone outside Japan it is only through the media of video and images that we can even begin to understand the scale of such a terrible event.
Very recently we came across an article on the blog of Japanese Photojournalist Ikuru Kuwajima which described his visit to Tohoku in Northern Japan. Kuwajima-San used a combination of Panoramic and Holga photography to document the devastation left in the wake of the disaster. The images vividly begin to show us the effect of the disaster on the town of Rikuzentakada. We are displaying the Holga set of images here but for the full accompanying text and additional Panoramic images please visit ‘Two Days in Tohoku and Afterwards’ on the blog of Ikuru Kuwajima. We will also be posting an interview with the photographer very soon.
