In Japan's Tohoku region, colorful seasonal flowers are blooming as a symbol of resilience in communities devastated by the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. In Rikuzentakata city, Iwate Prefecture, a nonprofit organization is planting 17,000 cherry trees along a 170-kilometer stretch marking the tsunami's reach to preserve the disaster's memory for future generations. The initiative highlights efforts to educate about past events to prevent future losses.
