Known locally as 3.11, the Great East Japan Earthquake was one of the most destructive natural disasters in the country’s history, with the death toll estimated at 16,000, although many bodies were never found.
The tsunami surge, more than 130-feet-high in some areas, tossed cars into third-storey windows and reduced houses and shops to something resembling a giant game of pick-up-sticks. Images of vehicles twisted into unrecognizable crumples of metal and rubber, and fishing boats listing high on dry land maintain a level of surrealism.
