Tokyo towers lit up to honor tsunami, bombing victims
Two eye-catching Tokyo illumination events were being held March 10-11 to commemorate a pair of devastating events in Japan's history--one that took place just a year ago and the other that occurred 67 years ago.
Tokyo Sky Tree, the world’s tallest free-standing tower located in Sumida Ward, was lit up with light-emitting diode (LED) lights to mourn victims of the March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami, and also the victims of the wartime air raids that devastated Tokyo on March 10, 1945.

昨年の今日、あの大地震と津波がありました。
復興に大変な時間がかかっておりますが、どうかどうか、被災地の方は、お元気で過ごされて欲しいと
願うばかりです。
そして、東京大空襲があった昭和20年3月10日。被災者の方の生活が元に戻り、3月10－11日という日が、
警鐘を鳴らすだけの日になりますように。
