Keeping the Memory of the Great East Japan Earthquake Alive: Delivering an update on Tohoku and smiles from the people in the region to Canada

Although 3.11 Portrait Project used photography as a means to offer support, I hoped it would be more than simply a transient effort of just taking pictures and then giving them to people. Our bigger goal was also to try and connect the people in the disaster areas with those in other parts of the country. As we were working on the project, some people suggested that we should also let people abroad know about the initiative. This led to us holding a photo exhibition reporting our activities in Toronto, Canada, in January 2012, with the cooperation of Shiseido Canada and the Japan Foundation, Toronto.
