RESMILE PROJECT Tohoku Tour
Reading time: About 4 minutes
RESMILE PROJECT Tohoku TourThe RESMILE PROJECT provides aid for reconstruction and is carried out by entertainers called “smile performers” who try and bring back the smiles and laughter in areas directly affected by the Tohoku earthquake. In this post, we caught up with the entertainers to show you their recent activities since last year’s report.
The smile performers are volunteers who collect donations by offering street performances. Not only do they take these donations to the disaster areas themselves, but also perform. Giving energy and laughter is another important way of offering support. Without energy, people may not be able to gain the strength to start again.
The place where they were heading is Haragama in Soma, Fukushima, 5km away from Soma Port. It is 4-50km away from Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant. The coastal areas of Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi were destroyed by the tsunami and Soma, also on the receiving end of the disaster, was also often seen on the news.

Farmers’ Three Thousand Years of Romance and PassionChance to eat beans eaten by Tutankhamen
“Beans eaten by Tutankhamen were sent to Japan.” Tomie Miyauchi, a farmer, recalled the article whilst working on her farm. When she glanced at a newspaper rolling up a vegetable, it read, “Do you want to make the new “King Tutankhamen Bean”? If interested, we will provide you with the seeds.”
The King Tutankhamen Bean, a descendant of peas, was first found inside of a tomb with the dead body of King Tutankhamen. After taking the seeds back to England, Connor B. Carter successfully germinated them. Cultivation continued and they were eventually passed to America. It reached Japan in 1956 as a gift in return for Japanese seeds. Ms. Miyauchi remembered reading this article.
