Letters to Japan

Mar 19, 2011 19:39

Yesterday, subscribers to the Tokyopop (a popular manga publisher) newsletter received a message from the founder regarding the situation in Japan. He is collecting letters, art, manga, and pictures to give to the Japanese students there who have lost their home as a way to show support. It's especially good if you are able to write in Japanese ( Read more... )

This is such a cool idea!! I plan on doing this later this weekend, hopefully tomorrow, but one thing: Can anyone explain to me how to address the letter? I can't just write the address he provided in romaji, right? And I don't trust myself to just google the kanji and magically get them all right...

I should think it would be just as typed above. I mean, they get mail from people all over the world, most of whom don't know how to write in Japanese, right?

Okay, thanks - I thought I read the opposite on another earthquake help website the other day, but maybe I just got confused. ^^;

I've heard some negative things about Tokyopop over the years, but this is a really wonderful thing they're doing. I may ask my students to write letters.

Thanks for posting!

I love Tokyopop... They really do a lot to connect with their fans. I've read negative stuff, too, but it was only regarding their printing quality, which I personally have never had any issue with. I don't know what other complaints there have been.

At any rate, I think it's great that the founder went there to help out and decided to collect letters & stuff to give to the people there. :)

Oh wow awesome! If the first week of April is ok, I'm doing a donation post at my LJ with pictures that say "From the Internet with love." When I get done I will FOR SURE put them together in a book for you to send!
