11 Mar 2011 coast of Japan shook under the action of 9-point earthquake. It was followed by a devastating tsunami, sweeping away from his path to the city, fields and even a port on the North of the country. It was the most powerful earthquake in the country's history. In addition to the 20 thousand dead another 130 thousand were left homeless. Washed from the face of the earth coastal towns may never be rebuilt, because there is a high probability of repeat tsunami in the future. For many, memories of lost about lost loved ones, homes, home too painful to return, even if the city has rebuilt. Many Japanese simply refuse to return to their home town.
