Taji would like to announce that total of 1055.62 euro has been sent to Japan

So far I have been carried on 2 supportive events against Japanese Earthquake dester.

During 2 events, I have succeeded to raise the total of 1000.64 euro.

*footbath for Japan*

the event was taking place on 2 occasion.

Oct 28, 29, 2011, footbath for Japan: at Sieboldhuis, Leiden

*1 year later Japan*:

Collaboration supportive project between Chef Design and Te to Te.

Many different program was taken place throughout the event; footbath, dinner, sushi workshop, Japanese product sales,

March 9, 10^th, 2012 at de Dependance, Rotterdam

I would like to announce you that transaction has been complete it.

Footbath:

Footbath is the reason of how taji has initiated a supportive project. Bathing is absolutely more popular culture in Japan, and brings a sense of relaxiation.  Road projects visits many disaster area with footbath installation and volunteers.

60000 yen (571.43 euro) : Road Project generated by Nippon foundation (for footbath division)

At the same time, this organization is a big organization and probably tend to receive more attention.  Therefore rest of the finance has been dedicated for more local, direct and oriented toward the fishery industrial revival.

Aquaculture/fishnary sector:

10210 yen (97.24 euro) : Sanriku coast area recovery project : diverse area recovery for fish industry.

10210 yen (97.24 euro) : We are the tairyo project (big hervesting project) : local fisherman’s group

10210 yen (97.24 euro) : oh guts! : local fisherman’s group

20210 yen (192.48 euro) : mizuyama oyster farm (local oyster farmer group and probably the one of the best oyster farmer in japan)

total of 1055.62 euro

Transaction was made based on 1euro = 105 yen. (Based on bank rate)

And I really would like to thank all the people who has shown interests, who has donated, who has supported, who has participated, who thought about Japan.  I believe this was very good initiative and we have supported for their will of recovery.  It will go slowly but surely.  I am sure that disaster area people and quite happy.

I really would like to mention Thank you!

And looking forward seeing with you!

ciao

Den Helder is a small town but for us Japanese it is a nice cozy party place, in a sense, many other Japanese craftmans and cultural people come and visit, as well as there was a Japanese Embassdor Mr Koezuka has presented, so that there was a mayor of Den Helder came, it has both official and casual looks together.
