Tsunami Survivors Need T-Shirts to Make Nuno Zori 布ぞうりの材料となる着古しのTシャツを募集!

To English Readers Living in Japan,

Nuno Zori

Beautiful Nuno Zori made by Tsunami Survivors

Used T-shirts are wanted! Send those to Ishinomaki where Tsunami hit on 3.11. Fumbaro Zori Supporters held workshops of Nuno Zori for tsunami survivors who then need to practice to sell Nuno Zori. Your T-shirts will be used for them to skill up and also for the actual items to sell. Should you have any old T-shirts, send them to Ishinomaki at specific time and date - Before Noon (am) on March 1st, not before nor after this time frame, be specific to instruct the time and date when you write the shipping slip.

Fumbaro Higashinihon ふんばろう東日本 (meaning Hang in There, Eastern Japan) runs this project. "Project Fumbaro Eastern Japan (PFEJ)" is a volunteer network based on a new support model formed by Takeo Saijo, Ph.D, to accommodate the unprecedented disaster right after March 11th (2011) massive earthquake hit Japan.

  1. It's always good to help and spread the word! I'm going to tell some of my friends in Japan (foreigners) to help out too!

    By the way, I have my own blog which focuses on Asian culture and entertainment such as video games and I wonder if it is possible for you to view it and tell me what you think please: http://nynyonlinex.wordpress.com
