Summer in the disaster areas
In mid-August, people across Japan observe Obon, the time when--according to tradition--souls of ancestors and departed family members return home. This month's Obon activities are the first since the earthquake and tsunami that devastated parts of eastern Japan. Numerous events were held to remember those who died. In some places, traditional dances were performed for the departed souls. Other ceremonies involved prayers for the speedy recovery of the stricken region, including a fire-burning ritual using wood from a forest that was leveled by the tsunami. People also were taking practical steps to hasten the recovery prayed for. In the city of Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture, a shopping arcade created from a string of trailers opened for business, putting 100 people back to work.
