With our thoughts and prayers for those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, a series of photographs will be on display at the Embassy of Japan from Monday, 28 March 2011. The photographs were taken in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and tsunami which struck off Japan's North East coast on Friday, 11 March.

 

Included in the display are images that show the extent of the damage caused, the conditions that the Japanese rescue services are facing, and the British Search and Rescue Team at work in North East Japan.

A Book of Condolence remains open in the Embassy's Foyer Exhibition Space.
