The Sining Green Project continues its activities with the idea of “making this earth a place full of greenery”. Singing Ring Association will continue to support the groups actively caring our Mother Earth.

Ishinomaki Kokoro no Mori Earthquake Disaster Reconstruction Memorial Park
On June 29, 2023, Kazumaon had a conversation with Fujio Fushimi, a resident of Ishinomaki, and Yasushi Kotono of Kokoro no Mori via Zoom.
First, we reported on the Singin' Green Project charity event held on April 1, 2023.
We also announced that we would be donating 191,023 yen from the proceeds of the event.
The two of them said, "We are grateful to everyone. Thank you very much."
The park has been planting trees for the past seven years, with 90,000 trees currently planted. Over the next seven years, the plan is to plant the remaining 10,000 trees and create flower paths under the trees.
The donations will continue to be used for tree planting activities!
Thirteen years have passed since the earthquake, and Ishinomaki is making progress in its recovery, with fireworks to be held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the river opening.
The park has also become very beautiful, and it has become very active, with a marathon event being held there and attracting 2,000 people.
I was invited to come again, so I would like to move forward with planning a visit to Ishinomaki with everyone.

On July 5th, 2023, Kazuman held an online discussion with Toyo Igashira, representative of the general incorporated association Sainai, who lives in Tenkawa Village.
The charity event was held on April 1, 2023, and the donations were reported. The representatives also exchanged greetings as this was their first time meeting each other.
We received a warm message from Mr. Igashira, saying, "We are extremely grateful for your generous donation. Thank you very much. We will use the money to support Tenkawa Village. We are grateful for the connections we have made."
Afterwards, we talked about the thank-you gifts from Tenkawa Shrine...!
This tanzaku is a tanzaku hanging scroll made from old wood from the former Tenkawa Shrine.
Tenkawa Shrine and the Singing Ring actually have a deep connection.
During the filming of Symphony of the Earth No. 7, Wasane performed at Tenkawa Shrine (the sound of the singing ring is used in the film)
The inn where I stayed with Director Tatsumura Jin in Tenkawa Village was actually run by Igashira-san...!
"Maybe we met back then (15 years ago)?!"
We were both surprised!
As part of future activities for the shrine grounds, tree planting activities around Tenkawa Shrine will continue (tree planting activities have been ongoing for the past 5-6 years) and return the area to its former state.
Will Funaokayama have a new symbol in the future?
There is a big project currently underway!
We will continue to keep an eye on this.
Also, with the coronavirus pandemic over, various festivals will be held without restrictions this year!
We at the Singing Ring Association will continue to support Saiba's activities from behind the scenes.
