Mostre, Giappone, Hiroshima-shi, 22 April 2012
Dear Artists, designers, craftsmen, creatives !!
Like last year we are organising an Charity-Event for the reconstruction of North-East Japan, especially trying to support the children over there. As part of the annual Yokogawa Fushigi Festival, there will be a one-day e...xhibition and Art-Bazaar, where visitors can buy artworks donated by artists and craftsmen.
Last year about 400 people came to the event, and 90% of the works got sold, accumulating to a total of 233.333 Yen, which were then donated to 4 japanese NPO´s to support the victims of the 3/11 desaster. We´d like to thank here, all participating artists, helpers and sponsors from last years event for their great support !!!
It´s almost one year ago that a big earthquake and the biggest Tsunami ever hit Japan, killing more than 19.000 people, caused direct damage of more than 147 mio € and leaving many families homeless after the desaster. Many people lost their relatives, children their parents.
The reconstruction of the areas are still in progress and will, according to an expert-commision take up to 10 years to final reconstruction. Establishing provisional housing will take around 3 years.
The international community almost forgot that, besides the radiation problems caused by Fukushima, the japanese society also faces the problem of establishing normality in the areas of North-East Japan, especially to provide a normal life for the children there, many of them still suffering from the trauma of the catastrophe, losing their homes and relatives.
That´s why this year´s revenue of the Yokogawa-Charity-Art-Festival will be donated to “Save the children”-Japan.

We´re also looking for helpers for setting up the event (april 21) and "working" during the event (April 22).
