Japanese Tsunami Five months later: Before & After. Large Images about the GREAT Clean-up of the JAPANESE PEOPLE

Two cyclists, two different times: Much of the wreckage that littered the streets of Kesennuma has been cleared

Five months after the waters ravaged through this shop in Otsuchi, a shop lies empty following a huge clean-up

Slowly, very slowly, life is getting back to normal in the towns and cities that were hit but it is expected that there will be many more years before the towns have been completely cleared.

By the end of the gruelling work, it is expected that the disaster will have cost Japan up to £185billion as the mountains of wood and concrete are cleared away.
