Minamisanriku, Miyagi Prefecture -- It's 4:50 in the morning and golden rays of sunshine are already streaming through the glass block windows at the Shizugawa High School Judo Dojo. The sound of
rustling blankets can be heard coming from one corner while sounds of snoring
emanate from all around. The sliding metal door opens and closes as early risers tend to their morning business. There is no running water. Six portable toilets are lined up outside the dojo - three for women and three for men. A five-gallon plastic jug with a spout and a plastic bowl serve as a temporary sink. Soap, hand
sanitizer, paper towels and a wastebasket sit next to the jug of water. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance to prevent the spread of
germs and diseases. (ailovejapan.org)
