Temporary housing for disaster victims in Rikuzentakata, Iwate, Japan - When a massive tsunami hit the northeastern coast of Japan this March, the city of Rikuzentakata in Iwate prefecture suffered catastrophic damage and lost near all its functionality as a city. In the aftermath temporary housing was built at a local auto-camp site. The detached houses, constructed using local timber and traditional carpentry techniques, were designed and built by Sumita Housing, a company based in the neighboring town of Sumita.
