Charity Photo Exhibition “DUALIGHTS” “DUALIGHTS” Noto Reconstruction Support Charity Photo Exhibition: A diverse group of artists gather together A diverse range of artists are participating, led by Wataru Nishida and Takatsune Sakaguchi. The exhibition connects culture and reconstruction under the theme of “Many lines. One light.” Toru Inc. (CEO: Wataru Nishida) and photographer Takatsune Sakaguchi co-hosted the charity photo exhibition “DUALIGHTS,” aimed at the recovery efforts following the Noto Peninsula earthquake, and received generous support. The funds raised through this exhibition will be donated to Wajima City, totaling approximately 1.5 million yen. The presentation ceremony will be held at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, October 15, 2025, in the Mayor’s Office at Wajima City Hall. Co-organizers Wataru Nishida and Takatsune Sakaguchi will be in attendance and will present the donation list directly to Mayor Shigeru Sakaguchi. “DUALIGHTS” was primarily planned by Nishida and Sakaguchi, but with the cooperation of film directors, creators, YouTubers, and artists who shared the project’s purpose, the exhibition featured artists from a wide range of genres. Artists working in different fields came together to present works that reexamined Noto from their own unique perspectives, eliciting strong empathy from many visitors. This exhibition, based on the theme of “capturing moments of resonance” while respecting differences, has received an overwhelming response as a new approach that combines cultural and support activities. This event is open to the press, and we will be accepting interviews on the day. We hope you will spread the word and help us share the current state of Noto’s recovery and the power of culture.
