It is 6 months to the day since the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March. Come and join lantern-making workshops, badge-making workshops, origami crane sessions and other Japanese craft activities to raise awareness of local communities affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Lantern-makers are encouraged to take part in the Thames Festival Night Carnival on the Sunday evening, with members of the Japanese community and friends, accompanied by Japanese drumming by the Joji Hirota Taiko drummers.

Letters from Sendai

We received letters from Sendai Tomizuka Elementary School. 


To people in England
Thank you very much for the letters.  We had a very big earthquake on 11th March.  Since then, earthquakes have never stopped.  Are you all ok in England?  We are better now.  We do our best!  Hope you will do the same.  Gook luck! 
From Natsuka

To people in England

We greatly appreciated all the supports from UK and the world. You gave us courage and hope.  Hope you will visit us some day.  

Can you see the flags of two countries (GB and Japan holding hands)?
