Photos of the Day (JAPAN)

Children gaze at a rubble collection site that has been set up on the grounds of a junior high school next to their nursery school in the city of Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture -- an area badly damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami -- on May 23. Dust from the collection site has forced the nursery school to keep its windows shut and make children wear masks. Nursery school officials have asked the city to address the problem. (Mainichi)

A police officer guides a group of first-year and second-year pupils at Yamada-minami Elementary School on May 23 as part of a traffic safety drill in Yamada, Iwate Prefecture, a town battered by the tsunami following the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake. Police have advised the children to walk to their school carefully because broken glass and fragments of corrugated iron roofs are still scattered all around the area. (Mainichi)

Shoin junior and senior high school students are pictured in Kobe's Nada Ward on May 23, 2011, after switching over to their summer uniforms the same day. (Mainichi)

Fishermen raise natural wakame (brown edible seaweed) from the bottom of the sea off Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, onto their fishing boat on May 21, 2011. As artificially grown wakame has been badly damaged by the massive March 11 tsunami, a local fishermen's cooperative hopes to ship natural wakame to various parts of Japan as the first step toward the restoration of their business.

1. The disasters are coming on so fast we forget that people are still rebuilding.
