It is because, the earthquake that broke of the coast of sendai happened under the sea and the type of the earthquake was a destructive.Meaning it moved the plates backwards and forwards under the sea bed causing the sea above it to violently move back and forwards creating dangerousley high and powerful waves(4-10M) to reach the coast of sendai and sweep miles through the inland areas.
