This combination photo shows an aerial view of Kesennuma, Miyagi prefecture on March 12, 2011, top, and Friday, March 4, 2013. Seen at left is the No. 18 Kyotokumaru fishing vessel that has been swept away from a port by the March 11, 2011 tsunami. Japan's progress in rebuilding from the mountain of water that thundered over coastal sea walls, sweeping entire communities away and killing nearly 19,000 people, is mainly measured in barren foundations and empty spaces. Clearing of forests on higher ground to make space for relocation of survivors has barely begun. Japan next week observes two years from the disasters which devastated the northeastern Pacific coast of the country. (Photo by AP Photo/Kyodo News)
