Are the Japanese calling the recent catastrophe by any special name? or is it just "the earthquake" and "the tsunami"?

Asked by Jeruba (55834points) March 25th, 2011

Everybody in the U.S. knows what we mean when we refer to “nine-eleven” or “Katrina.” Have the Japanese people (or the Japanese media) given a unique label to their recent disaster, and if so, what is it?
