Disaster-Ready Tokyo: Meguro Ward installed park toilets that keep working without water or power after major quakes. Humanitarian Link: Japan and UNICEF backed safer water and sanitation for Syrian refugees in Jordan’s Za’atari camp. Culture & Soft Power: A samurai-on-horse parade returned for Fukushima’s Soma Nomaoi festival, and Japan’s Tao Okamoto won Cannes best actress for “All of a Sudden.”
