The Ganbare Japan! project goes on after Japan Expo and Japan Expo Centre, and now Japan Expo Sud attendees can discover the dedicated exhibiton.

Ganbare Japan!

Launched in March 2011 right after the seism and tsunami which devastated a part of Japan, Ganbare Japan! was created by Japan Expo to help Japanese people financially and also provide them with moral support.

Almost a year after the disaster, action goes on. Ganbare Japan! badges, T-Shirts and wallpapers are still on sale at the J.E. SHOP during the festival. The Ganbare Japan! Facebook page is still active too and you can leave support messages, drawings or videos.

The Embassy of Japan in France contributed in the exhibition with panels showing Tôhoku during and since the events, highlighting the distress engendered by the catastrophe but also the solidarity between people. Other photos, taked a few months later, reveal a region which goes on living and is reconstructing.
