The following facebook group, Japan: A Land of Fragile Beauty, or Take a Break from the News Feed, was set up by a JET based in Ishikawa Prefecture in the days after the earthquake. The group description says

This is an attempt to create some sort of haven away from the constant images of death and destruction that we’re being bombarded with on TV and the internet. Post whatever you want…thoughts, music, haikus, pictures of Japan that don’t make you want to cry.
