Non Solo Kawaii

La natura che tanto amiamo a volte sa essere veramente crudele…
Le parole in questi casi sono quasi inutili, ciò che contano sono i fatti, perchè servono aiuti per ricostruire le regioni giapponesi del Kanto e di Tohoku in seguito al terremoto e allo tsunami dell’11 marzo.

Sometimes the nature, that we love, can be very cruel…
Words are almost useless in these cases, only facts count, because they need help to rebuild Kanto and Tohoku Japanese regions after earthquake and tsunami on March 11.

Le opere saranno in vendita presso la galleria JapanLA e dal 4 aprile online al #PrayForJapan webshop.
Tutto il ricavato della vendita delle opere d’arte sarà devoluto alla Croce Rossa Americana, l’organizzazione umanitaria che fornisce assistenza nei disastri naturali.
Indipendentemente dalla mostra, se qualcuno volesse dare un piccolo aiuto, può fare online una donazione a Save The Children e/o ad American Red Cross.

The works will be on sale at JapanLA gallery and at the #PrayForJapan webshop from April 4.
All the money raised from the sale of the artworks will be donated to American Red Cross, the nation’s premier emergency response organization.
Regardless of the exhibition, if someone wants to help, it is possible to make an online donation to Save The Children and/or to American Red Cross.
