a heartfelt charity event to support the recovery efforts for Japan’s beautiful Noto Peninsula. 🇯🇵🇪🇪 Free entrance.

🧶 Why charity?

On January 1, 2024, the Noto Peninsula in Japan was severely impacted by a major earthquake, also tsunami and big fire after it, causing widespread damage to homes, infrastructure and farmland.

Just as the area was recovering from that disaster, heavy rains in late September caused extensive damage again in the same area.
The damage is so severe that it is expected to take more than ten years to recover.
We, VIVITA has one of our studios close to the Noto Peninsula; our colleagues have been trying to support them.
