For around four weeks it's been possible to write messages for Tohoku on the embassy facade. This is some pictures I took almost two weeks ago. People are still writing and drawing stuff every day.
The dinosaur says "fight!"
Message of gratitude from Higashi-Matsushima, the city where the danish effort is concentrated.
"Be strong Tohoku, be brave and don't give up"
Message in Danish.
Nice drawings!
"There's a tomorrow!"
International support
"Will get through this, without a doubt"
Extremely cute support.
All ages are represented.
We love Japan.
The chair is the Egg Chair. We auctioned one to raise money for Higashi-Matsushima children at our Danish Art and Design for Japan Charity event.
Spongebob.
Kewpie?
The characters from AC's campaign ad Aisatsu no Mahou song.

Sayounaraion says: Don't give up Tohoku!!
Swedish support.
Moogle!!
"It's okay not to try too hard, let's walk together."
Anpanman.
A... turkey?
Thank you Denmark.
Normally I think I would greatly dislike any romanticizing of my country. And I would probably feel ambivalent about people posting "Thank you Denmark" pictures on the web. But, I guess... This time is different I guess. At least for me.
No matter what I think the facade is a great idea, because it gives people the possibility to express themselves.
