NATORI, Japan -- Line after line, a list on the wall of city hall reveals the dead. Some are named. Others are identified only by a short description. Female. About 50. Peanuts in left chest pocket. Large mole. Seiko watch. Male. 70-80 years old. Wearing an apron that says "Rentacom." One set catches the eye of Hideki Kano, a man who appears to be in his 30s. "I think that's my mom!" he says. He rushes out into the snow, headed for a makeshift morgue.
