“ On March 11, 2011, Japan was hit by an unprecedented earthquake and tsunami that caused devastating damage, bringing sorrow and hardship not only to the Tohoku region but also to the entire nation of Japan.
LIGHT UP NIPPON is a fireworks display project that launched fireworks at 10 disaster-stricken areas simultaneously following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Traditionally, fireworks in Japan serve as a memorial to the victims and a symbol of hope and prayers for relief and recovery. After overcoming many obstacles with strong commitment and sheer determination, the first fireworks event of this project took place on August 11, 2011, much to the delight and excitement of many people. This was made possible through the joint volunteer efforts of the LIGHT UP NIPPON Executive Committee comprised of local people from the respective disaster-stricken areas and young businesspeople from various organizations in Tokyo.
The Japan Foundation has produced a documentary video for overseas viewing that includes the LIGHT UP NIPPON project, an effort made possible through the combined power of individuals from Japan’s younger generation. This documentary film follows the entire process from the start through to August 11, 2011, when fireworks filled the skies.”
