We would like to inform you that we have received donations totaling $1,455.05 from 21 donors worldwide. All contributed amounts have been evenly split and transferred to TAKAZAWA CANDLE and AIZAWA Wood Works as of January 16th, 2024 (one of the 21 donations, which was received after January 16th, has been transferred subsequently).

Unfortunately, it has been reported that their manufacturing facilities and the surrounding area have suffered much more severe damage than initially anticipated. Nevertheless, the warm, prompt support we received will play a significant role in the ongoing efforts for recovery and rebuilding in the affected manufacturers’ facilities and communities.

We sincerely appreciate all who generously donated to support the manufacturers through this campaign.

Direct contributions are still accepted through the manufacturers’ donation web pages. If you are still willing to support them, please visit the links below:
