This event has been created in order to raise much needed funds for the disaster relief of the people of the Karakuwa peninsula (Miyagi prefecture), and Rikuzen-Takata (Iwate prefecture). All funds raised in this event will be converted into fresh fruit and vegetables and then hand delivered to the housing units of this area of Tohoku by the Tokyo-based 4 member international team, V.I.G.A. (Veronica, Iain, Guy, Akitsu).
All persons concerned about the welfare of a population devastated by the events of the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami are very welcome and are encouraged to attend. Please forward this information to any persons you think will be interested in this community event.
Entrance fee: ¥1,000 (¥500 to disaster relief), includes one drink.
GUIDELINES FOR ARTISTS.
The concept is extremely simple.
Please send an image of your 100% donated work to the Facebook Page "ARTISTS for TOHOKU" including the title/size/medium/date of creation and expected price.
The image will be included in an album on the "ARTISTS for TOHOKU" Page for all interested persons to view.
Submission deadline is September 1.
On Sunday 11th September please arrive at Tokyo Salon/Kyozon before 11 a.m.
GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPANTS.
Please come and show your support and if you feel like you would like to purchase a piece of artwork on display, speak with the artist concerned and have confidence that 100% of the sales price will be used to support the local economy of this particular area of Tohoku by purchasing locally grown produce. The produce purchased will then be hand delivered to the people living in the housing units nearby, by V.I.G.A.
Also, enjoy the DJ's who have kindly given up their day to provide entertainment for you. Many thanks.

Information about "V.I.G.A."
As soon as Veronica returned from Chile on April 14th I told her about all the people helping out in the Tohoku region of Japan and immediately she wanted to be a part of the effort.
We checked the facebook “Foreign volunteers Network” postings and found a government official from Kesennuma (Miyagi prefecture) asking for assistance, so Veronica got on the phone and started calling around for donations of food, water, clothing for babies, children, teens, adults and the elderly (who seem to be suffering the most). We have a Scottish friend, Guy, and his girlfriend, Akitsu (dragonfly) who live in Chiba and they wanted to join us. Quite a simple start really, 4 persons with a mission. Our first trip was very soon after, from 22-25 April.
The usual schedule is, we leave Tokyo at midnight on Thursday and drive a car and a 2 tonne truck for about 9 hours to the Karakuwa peninsula area of Tohoku which includes a visit to Rikuzen-Takata (a scene of immense destruction and an estimated loss of life of around 2,500 people), and then the day starts. We drive to as many shelters (now “housing units”) as possible to offload the scores of boxes so that the people can select what they need, then reload the truck and move to the next shelter. At each destination we also give boxes of food and water. Friday is usually a very long day especially as we have not slept the night before. We continue with the same routine on Saturday and then on Sunday morning, Veronica organises us to cook lunch for between 150-300 people. Finally, we leave the area at some point on Sunday evening and then make the long drive back to Tokyo, usually arriving around 4 a.m. Monday morning.
Our focus has changed since our first trip in April. Now, we are more focused upon delivering food because the government of Japan has decided to stop sending food to the shelters and housing units.
There are many hungry people who have been forgotten and need our help. With a little effort we can create some smiles upon the faces of persons who are enduring a quite difficult situation.
V.I.G.A. has also connected with Kazoo, a Japanese orthodontist based in Tokyo, who has very kindly been visiting the same area to provide dental care for the elderly.
So far, since the first visit in April, we have been to this disaster-hit region of northern Japan once every month and we are committed to continue with this mission until the situation improves.
There is much more to be written as so much has happened in such a short time, however, the above information is a basic outline of what we have been doing and how it all started.
I hope this information helps, if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to ask.
We greatly appreciate and welcome your assistance.
Best regards,
Veronica, Iain, Guy and Akitsu.
