A Chicago-based commemoration project for the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, remembering the victims of disaster and documenting the region's recovery.
A thank you to all the sponsors
The Kizuna project and, by extension, this archive could not be made possible without the generosity of partner organizations throughout the past 10 years. Their kind donations of money, volunteers, and other resources have assured the continued success of the Kizuna Project and its work towards commemorating the Great East Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami and the healing that took place afterwards. Without their contributions this project could not have been made possible.
