A worker measures the radiation levels of rice straw, which will be fed to cattle, at a farm in Miharu, Fukushima Prefecture, on Saturday. KYODO PHOTObonus photosNewly-built temporary housing, called "the Hometown of Hope -- 'The Bonds'" consisting of 40 homes, is seen in Tono, Iwate Prefecture. The design of the "community-care type" temporary housing complex is based on ideas provided by the Institute of Gerontology of the University of Tokyo and other groups. The complex has barrier-free roofed decks especially for the handicapped and elderly people. (Mainichi)Tsukasa Abe, 38, cooks eel at a temporary shop in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, on July 21, 2011, which this year was a zodiac calendar day on which eel is traditionally eaten. The shop lost its building to the March 11 tsunami and reopened along with four other shops in borrowed space at the end of May. (Mainichi) Residents of tsunami-ravaged Minamisanriku in Miyagi Prefecture put the finishing touches on paper weights shaped like an octopus on July 20 at a closed local school building. The Shizugawa district of Minamisanriku is known as a major production center for octopuses. Even though its original design drawing was lost to the tsunami triggered by the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, local residents received one of the paper weights, based on which they produced the new items.

The banner on the left, which reads 合格折願 ("Goukaku kigan",) is probably destined to become a good luck charm for a student who is studying to get into a high school or university. The banner on the right reads 東北復興 (Tohoku fukkou) is a plea for the rebuilding/restoration of the Tohoku region (where most of the disaster-related damage has occurred).
