Charity market by tableware artists

On 11 Mar 2011, a massive earthquake of magnitude 9.0 and following tsunami with over 10 meters height cause catastrophic damage to Tohoku (North East) district of Japan. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the people who passed away and fall into difficulties.

We want to work together with the recovery of disaster sites in the way as tableware artists and decide to open the charity market of our works in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

This project, started with our will to help them, is still in progress, but we can work it out with supports from various fields.

In One LOVE - tableware market for charity -,

we sell tableware, donated by artists in Japan,

as well as from all around the world,

at 20 to 30 percent off the regular price.

All the proceeds will be given to Japanese Red Cross Society as donations for victims.

Schedule fixed!

For Participants

In this "One LOVE" project, we would like to make your small but certain effort from each position into great support. We want to turn the things "what I can do" and "what only I can do" into the things "what we can do for someone" with the donation of works from artists, sites from the owners, designs by the designers and advertisement by media.

We believe that more works from around the world would be more power of influence.

At the moment, we require the donation of the works, as well as any idea which contribute to attract more customers to the event.

Since the market is coming up soon, 22 - 24 April, please send your work(s) to reach several days before the opening date.

Please note that donated works will not be send back even if they are unsold.
