Decontamination workers remove radiated soil and leaves from a forest in Tomioka town, Fukushima prefecture. In March 2011, an earthquake and subsequent tsunami tore through Tomioka and other coastal towns in northern Japan, leaving behind destruction and deep wounds.
Today, four years after the disaster, residents are torn over government’s plan to build a radioactive waste storage site in the shadow of the wrecked nuclear plant.
