The latest post of maggiesensei.com features this map of Japan’s regions and prefectures. I found it very handy.

Next time you hear names like “the great Kantō plain”, “Kansai dialect”, or “xxx, prefecture of yyyy”, you’ll be able to locate it at the country level. :)

Sendai : avant/après

Flooding from Tsunami near Sendai, Japan (by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center)

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired the top image of the Sendai region on March 12, 2011, at 10:30 a.m. The lower image, taken by Terra MODIS on February 26, 2011, is provided as a point of reference.

Water is black or dark blue in these images. It is difficult to see the coastline in the March 12 image, but a thin green line outlines the shore. This green line is higher-elevation land that is above water, presumably preventing the flood of water from returning to the sea. The flood indicator on the lower image illustrates how far inland the flood extends.
