Tote Bags Made in East Japan｜EXHIBITION | Creation Gallery G8

Since 1990 Guardian Garden and CREATION Gallery G8 have hosted an annual charity event targeted at enabling many people to sense the fun and enjoyment that can be derived from art and design. Each occasion consists of the exhibition and sale of goods created free of charge by creative artists with close ties to Recruit’s two galleries, with the proceeds donated to worthy causes. Starting in 2009 this initiative was revamped under a new title, the CREATION Project, whose objective is to enrich everyday lives through the power of design. For the 2011 event, 180 artists generously agreed to devote their design talents to the creation of tote bags as part of a project to help bring about recovery from the calamitous earthquake and tsunami that struck eastern Japan on March 11.
