Anfini Inc. Sponsors Reading Play '10 Years After to You 2026' on Great East Japan Earthquake, Sets Up Invitation Seats for Children in Natori City

Anfini Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Hashimoto) is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the theatrical work 'Reading Play: 10 Years After to You 2026,' which deals with the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The production is scheduled to be performed in Tokyo and in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, which was hit by the disaster. For the Natori performance, the company will set up invitation seats for local children. Through this initiative, the company aims to provide opportunities for the children of the future to reflect on the Great East Japan Earthquake while passing on its memories and lessons to the next generation.

Background of Sponsorship

The company's representative, Mr. Hashimoto, witnessed the loss of livelihood of relatives living in Iwanuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, during the Great East Japan Earthquake. This experience instilled in him a strong desire to 'become an adult who can help colleagues in times of emergency.'

This sponsorship was realized based on that core experience, with the aim of supporting activities that connect the memories and lessons of the earthquake to the future and contribute to the recovery and development of the Tohoku region.
