Illustration: After heavy rain on a Japanese hillside, a large tree leans dangerously over a small house. Its root plate has lifted from the saturated soil, exposing torn roots, and a fresh gap opens beneath the trunk. The tree's weight hangs directly above the roof while the house itself remains intact.
