a. Reconstructed Temple roof.

b. Young women visiting China Town.

c. Luminarie commemorative light show.

Kobe has recovered remarkably well from the earthquake, at least in appearance. The temple in the photo was completely flattened, and has been rebuilt as was. The Luminarie light show is an event to remember the lost souls. It is performed by an Italian artist who visits Kobe and constructs it every year.
