OTAMA VILLAGE, FUKUSHIMA: ONE FAMILY’S five-year struggle to overcome the Fukushima disaster by living in the radiation zone have been documented in a poignant photo-report.

The images, the latest of which were taken just this month, eventually show Toshinori and Keiko once again standing in front of a healthy-looking herd. The “Black Rain” photo-project was created by Tokyo photo-journalist Soichiro Koriy
