Dear friends overseas,
We would like to inform you that Slow Food Nippon has been doing a crowdfunding campaign to create 4 Ark of Taste picture books. The creation of picture books is confirmed and it is almost complete, and we are now doing this campaign to have more people get to know about this project, with the wish to make these picture books as a series and keep creating new ones. Currently we have about 10 days left for this crowdfunding with 70% raised. We’d like to reach the goal and we’d appreciate your support!
