What is Miyagi-Jonet?

MIYAGI JO-NET (Miyagi Women’s Support Network) is a non-profit organisation supporting women in the Tohoku area that was devastated by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. We aim to connect the women in the affected areas with women and supporters from around Japan and the world. To this end, we are cooperating with various other women’s and relief organisations. Our many projects are designed to help women individually in reconstructing their lives and livelihoods. We thereby hope to brighten their everyday a little bit. We also collect relief/support goods and other donations to distribute them among the women and families affected by the disaster. Through regular meetings, our ‘salons,’ and consultations, we gain insight into women’s needs and concerns, and propose adequate measures to local and regional administrations.

Many of Miyagi Jonet’s members are women affected themselves by the disaster.

Minamisanriku - the situation at the beach


 
Unchanged since 3.11.
The second floor of that house was swept over the street 
and lies overturned ever since.

 
Today's catch is this one fish.
The chef is my father.

 
The minshuku (private lodging for tourists), the house, the kitchen, three buses and cars - all gone. Nothing but this billboard remained. 


 
The 20m heigh tsunami transported the boat up this hill and over the road, depositing it finally in this ravine.

 
The fish looks really ugly, but I was told that they are delicious as a fish soup.

 
Pacific cod for 5000 Yen

 
At the fish monger, fish dishes prepared from locally caught fish 
as well as these unique cookies are sold
