WHAT IS “RESURRECTION OF FUKUSHIMA”?

“Resurrection of Fukushima” is a nonprofit organization which aims to rebuild lives and reconstruct agriculture-centered industries that have been affected by the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
In June 2011, Yoichi Tao, with other 15 members, visited Iitate Village and deeply sympathized with the victims. They are the ones who evacuated from radiation-contaminated area but still keep strong and unchanged attachment to their original lives and the lands inherited from generation to generation. The voluntary group, “Resurrection of Fukushima”, was formed spontaneously for the purpose of reviving their lives and agriculture-centered industries. The activities have started focusing on Iitate Village. In 2012, “Resurrection of Fukushima” became a Specified Nonprofit Corporation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government with Yoichi Tao as the executive director up to now. Later on, it became an Approved Specified NPO in June 2014.
