SENDAI -- When the March 11 tsunami struck the fishing port of Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, Shuichiro Fujita, the president of a company selling cases for freshly caught skipjack tuna, lost his home and company facilities, leaving him helpless.

More than three months on, the 48-year-old has finally managed to get back to business.

"It's emotional being able to reach this stage," he said, looking at a recently landed catch of tuna.

Before the tsunami, Kesennuma boasted Japan's biggest catch of skipjack tuna, but the day after the disaster, the coastal area of Kesennuma had been reduced to rubble. All remnants of the fishing town had vanished.
