Evacuees enjoy cherry blossom celebration
Evacuees from the disaster-hit regions of northeastern Japan have enjoyed traditional spring cherry blossom celebrations in areas where they are taking shelter.
In the southwestern city of Fukuoka, 6 evacuees and some volunteers gathered at a park that is a popular for viewing Sakura cherry trees in full bloom.
In Yokkaichi, central Japan, 19 evacuees gathered at a river-side promenade blanketed with mature cherry trees. Many were mothers and children who left their hometowns due to concerns about the harmful effects of radiation.
They took photos of their children. One of the mothers said that she was too nervous to enjoy the cherry blossoms last year right after the earthquake and tsunami.
