A big banner is hanging from the side of a building overlooking Shibuya’s iconic scramble crossing in Tokyo to remind people of the damage caused by the tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region on March 11, 2011.
The red line on the banner — 16.7 meters up— indicates the height of the massive waves that struck the costal areas of Iwate and Miyagi Prefecture during the Great East Japan Earthquake eight years ago.
