東京製本倶楽部　おかえりプロジェクト

Dear bookbinder friends, Six months have passed since the big earthquake and the reconstruction is far from finished. We the members of the Tokyo Bookbinding Club together with Sün Evrard, who is also a member of our association, invite you to create and offer hand-bound photo albums to those who recovered family photographies in the mud and ruins after the tsunami. We named this event the « OKAERI PROJECT ». This means in Japanese that the rescued and restored photographies will be returned to their owners. For those who lost almost everything, the value of a retrieved picture is enormous in itself, the fact that it will be put into an album especially made for them means a step towards future, a ray of hope.
