Odaka Ward became a difficult-to-return area due to the nuclear power plant accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and the evacuation order was lifted in 2016. A person from Ukraine who experienced the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident has continued to interact with the residents of Odaka from the time of the earthquake to the present. As a company based in Odaka, we thought that we could give back to the people of Ukraine from Odaka, so we produced a Ukrainian charity model watch. All proceeds* from sales of this product will be donated to support activities in Ukraine. We have previously announced a support model for Ukraine and received over 800 purchases from people all over the world. We donated 20% of these sales to support activities in Ukraine, and thanks to the support of many people, we were able to deliver aid to the disaster-stricken areas.
