The full extent of the damage from the quake and tsunami that swept through northeast Japan on March 11 is only starting to emerge. Tsunami survivors are now coming to terms with the tragedy and are facing a long and arduous task of rebuilding their lives.
Homes still lay in ruins, businesses closed, and power lines remain disrupted.
There is no doubting the enormity of the task facing Japan.
More than 8,000 were killed by the earthquake and 30 foot tsunami which smashed the country's northeast coast, wiping whole towns off the map.
