Takenoko For Tohoku 2
Takenoko For Tohoku 2
It’s been almost a year since the ground-shaking, wave-breaking, plume-emitting catastrophe of March 11, 2011.
The disaster is not over yet. Lies, in-fighting, uncertainty and desperation still outpace restoration and rejuvination.
And radiation.
Sigh… Here in 山口, we count our blessings.
Last year, at the season’s catastrophe’s urge, I started a personal project: Takenoko For Tohoku. Then, the roots were dug, and sold by donation at のむの, Hofu’s most respectable disreputable watering hole.
This year, I Want You.
I want you to come up The Mountain and dig with me. To dig and sweat. For Tohoku. For one hour, horihoudai.
It’ll cost.
It’ll cost a minimum donation of 1,000円. The money goes North. To Tohoku.
- Date: End of March/All of April
- Place: The Mountain

we were just talking about you and wandering down! If you’re game for two urbanites who like to get dirty, give me a shout. If you leave a comment on my blog with your email I won’t publish it, of course, and we can chat. Great idea!
You’re more than welcome to come down, Joan. I’ll contact you over at Popcorn Homestead.
Cheers!

Would love to come, KC, really would… But the wife is expecting our 3rd lil ‘un at the end of this month or in early April.
As always, good ideas coming from you!
Cheers,
ken
I’ll get you down here one day or another K;)
In the meantime, the heartiest/halest of congratulations, and start sniffing around your mailbox about three weeks from now
All the best to you and your family,
