Scars of 3.11 quake in Tokyo

On 3.11 quake in Japan, Tokyo was not so severely damaged, but there still remains some scars of the quake.

This is a reconstructing shrine gate(torii), Kamiogi, Suginami, Tokyo. There was big shrine gate here, but it was collapsed by the quake.



Around here, All seems as usual as before the quake. Some houses were damaged ( And my house's gate also was collupsed ), and most of them were repaired.



But poor people can't repair their house's damage yet, but June is rainy season. In August and Septenber, some typhoon will hit Tokyo. They can't live in damaged house, so now, they are repairing their home.







If their houses were more damaged enough to be registered as collupsed or half collupsed by Suginami city office, they can repair their home with public support. But unfortunately, their houses were not damaged enough to public support but enough to them can't live in there.
Some old people sold their house and land, then moved to apartment in another area, because they have not enough monay to repair their house, so they had to throw away their familiar house and area.
