A man and a woman walk near a replica of a lone pine tree that initially survived the 2011 tsunami that flattened the surrounding coastal forest, in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, northern Japan Thursday, March 4, 2021. The tree, which eventually died of seawater exposure, was known as the “Miracle Pine”, and townspeople treated, reinforced and then preserved it as a memorial and symbol of hope for the region.
