Was a non-issue earthquake fortunately. In Tokyo the buildings swayed a bit, but the most striking thing was the gentle roll of the land for so long. Generally indicative of the epicenter being very far away and/or quite deep. Tokyoites generally looked at each other, said" Hmm... earthquake" and went back to work, or lunch as the case may be as the quake struck just before lunch.
