When the natural catastrophe in the north of Japan (Tohoku) happened, I cried for two days and began collecting funds to send to Japan. Why did it matter to me? It mattered because my friends were worried, my parents were in Japan, and my link to the past generations was there. A government employee criticized me as ambitious as if I took advantage of this misfortune. I donated everything I collected. It was a spontaneous act rather than a thoughtful act. I donated first to the NPO Association for Aid and Relief, Japan (AAR Japan). After that, I wanted to support children, especially in art. I have contacted the NPO in Sendai, SOAT who I began to donate money. One day, the association's president asked me to organize events for one of the association's member, Emi Ichinoseki, in June 2012. I contacted my network concerning the relevance of Japan's crisis. Many people were helpful. They answered positively. I organized the whole program for Emi Ichinoseki, who wanted to perform with the musicians and do some workshops in Paris schools. In the end, I got the support of Christine Shimizu at Musee Cernuschi to do a live performance with Fumie Hihara in a space with a giant buddha. On this occasion, Ichinoseki's work entered the collection of Musee Cernuschi.
