Even after 3 years have passed since the huge disaster of tsunami, earthquake and nuclear accident in 2011, there are still many people living in temporary housing, losing their jobs in Tohoku, Northern East of Japan. However, Tohoku is not just a place of tragedy. People in Tohoku are not anonymous victims. Each place, each people deals with different challenges and takes steps toward recovery. Many outsiders from Tokyo, NY and all over the world entered Tohoku, and have been enchanted by rich culture, history of Tohoku and made relationships with local residents across generations and geographies. And now, various new projects emerging, art works, crafts, and business within which tradition and today’s contexts come together. Please come and see what’s going on in Tohoku, how people live their lives, find mutual points to work together!
