Fukushima Is Now A Terrifying Ghost Town (15 pics)
French photographers Carlos Ayesta and Guillaume Bression recently put together a project called “Retracing Our Steps." For the photo shoot they asked people who were forced out of their homes during the disasters in Fukushima to return to where they used to live. The pictures that they ended up capturing are some of the most haunting photos ever taken of Fukushima.
“Midori Ito is in an abandoned supermarket in Namie. Here, nothing has changed since the disaster. On a panel, you can even read the words “Fresh produce” in Japanese. Just after the disaster, Midori Ito evacuated to Minami Aizu because of health risks associated with radioactivity. She finally returned to live with her children in the city of Koriyama, situated about 60 km from the plant.”
