A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit notheast Japan on 11 March 2011. More than 15869 death toll and 2847 uncounted for are reported up to now.

I prepared color design diagrams that might be of some help for the sufferer to overcome the difficulties. Please have a look and if you find it useful, please send your contribution, $5 or so, by PayPal to.

The money will be transferred to the Japanese Red Cross Society under the name of Kumihimo people in the World.
