Tokyo seems like a city of shadows, ever since that devastating earthquake and tsunami combination. That buzzing city from before seems to have drifted behind the clouds.
Almost a thousand quakes have hit in the past month, with one likely to be occurring right now. Residents have lost Tokyo and Japan altogether, in the hope of a better life. For every scientist who downplays the radiation danger, another will emphasize the unknowns in the equation and play it up.
Kagurazaka hill seems like a tenebrous alien land nowadays. Garish lights of the Akihabara electronics district are muted too.
It’s saddening to hear news of quiet Tokyo. We can only hope that it makes a full recovery after recent events.
