In this image from video, several clothes dyed by members of indigo dye group Japan Blue are displayed at a community center where residents evacuated when the 2011 earthquake hit the area in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on Feb. 20, 2021. After the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster a decade ago, nearby farmers weren't allowed to grow crops for two years because of radiation. After the restriction was lifted, two farmers in the town of Minamisoma found an unusual way to rebuild their lives and help their destroyed community. Kiyoko Mori and Yoshiko Ogura planted indigo and soon began dying fabric with dye produced from the plants. (AP Photo/Chisato Tanaka)
