A series of huge disasters; gigantic earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear powerplant accidents; hit Japan on March 11 2011. My hometown is only 8 kilometers from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The day after the earthquake, the government of Japan ordered its residents to leave their home; my hometown is now no-go zone. On June 12, three months after the earthquake, I was given a chance to go back to my house, which was within the restricted area; to pick up my family album that was full of good old memories. During this visit, I took these pictures shown here.
