A Collaborative Work by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Journalists
"kizunaworld.org" is a project initiated by Ryuichi Sakamoto and media creator Tomoyasu Hirano to provide long-term support to the disaster-affected areas. In collaboration with supportive artists, the project aims to continuously offer charity artworks, fostering connections between people and expanding the circle of support through these creations. The initiative began last month with the release of "KIZUNA," an animated work co-created by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Italian contemporary artist Valerio Berruti.
