The number of victims of the earthquake and tsunami that assaulted the Tohoku region of northeast Japan has now reached around 30,000, if those who are still missing are included. This was the largest natural disaster to strike Japan in its history, and the entire nation has been in mourning.
东京——在日本，一般在逝去49天后召开逝者的追悼会。逝者的亲友在此期间为逝者服丧哀悼。如果把仍然失踪的人计算在内，袭击日本东北地区的地震和海啸造成的死难人数现在已经上升到30，000人左右。这是日本历史上规模最大的一次自然灾害，日本全国都沉浸在深深的悼念之中。
