Description
Wooden buildings across Japan's Noto Peninsula were demolished by a massive earthquake on New Year's Day, but thanks to a quirk of architecture, one small fishing village stood strong.
Not one of around 100 houses in windswept Akasaki, on the peninsula's western coast, collapsed in the magnitude 7.5 quake whose epicentre was just a few kilometres away. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
