    Inside Fukushima exclusion zone ten months later

    By Osakave  |  Posted February 17, 2012  |  fukushima
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Tokyo photographer Osakave accompanied evacuated locals on a trip back to the Fukushima exclusion zone on Jan. 7 and 8, 2012. He shot eerie photos of abandoned animals wandering the streets and stretches of ruined buildings. 'It still seems like March 11 down there,' he said over the phone. The last image shows a lone ostrich standing in the street. Local news reports verify that some of the birds escaped from a farm that held ostriches in Okuma. Also interesting to note is that the Japanese government introduced ostriches into the country to combat swine flu in 2009.
