<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong>
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> Last year's Great East Japan Earthquake brought devastation to Tohoku.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> The tsunami caused people in the affected areas to lose much in an instant.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> Areas heavily damaged by the tsunami included Rikuzentakata, Kamaishi, Ofunato, Yamada, and Otsuchi in Iwate Prefecture, and Minamisanriku and Ishinomaki in Miyagi Prefecture.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> After the earthquake, men in the disaster areas focused on heavy labor such as clearing rubble.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> Meanwhile, the work of the "coastal women," who had been involved in unloading catches and assisting at the fishing huts, disappeared.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> The "Tamaki" Coastal Misanga project began with the aim of providing these women with income through handicraft.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> These original misanga, combining a textured white linen cord with crimson fishing nets, are handcrafted one by one by the women.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> The materials used are fishing nets from the coast that became unusable due to tsunami damage.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> The misanga, woven by the coastal women with each stitch imbued with hope and wishes for the recovery of Sanriku, have become a "link" connecting the disaster-stricken areas with us.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> A set includes two misanga: one wide and one narrow.
<strong>"Tamaki" Coastal Misanga</strong> Of the 1,100 yen sales price (per set, tax included), 576 yen is structured to go directly to the women who make them.
