Currently recruiting at Makuake* until Wednesday, September 25, 2024*
Royal Mile Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) has launched a project called “Wajima Nuri x Domestic Handmade Whiskey Glasses” aimed at supporting recovery from the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
We have started recruiting on the support purchase service Makuake from 12:00 on Saturday, June 29, 2024. We are still striving towards our next goal.
Current situation as of August 2024 (Wajima City) Left: Around the morning market, which has been demolished at public expense. Middle: An example of a building awaiting demolition. Right: Road with a sewage pipe protruding from it.
In Wajima City, eight months have passed since the earthquake, and although reconstruction is gradually progressing, there are still many buildings waiting to be demolished, and depending on how you look at it, the reality is that the city still looks the same as it did right after the earthquake. .
The roads surrounding Wajima City have been restored to the point where cars can pass through them, but the roads are undulating in many places due to liquefaction and upheavals, and many sewage pipes are popping out.
Although there is only about one month left until the end of the project, it must be said that there is still a long way to go towards recovery and reconstruction.
* It will be a difficult road ahead, so we need the cooperation of as many people as possible! *
* We are looking for people to join us in rebuilding the Wajima lacquerware workshop that was destroyed due to the disaster! * For more information, please see the Makuake page below.
