As a follow up to our 2011 "With You Japan" photo project, at the 2012 Sakura Days Japan Fair we asked visitors to write messages of encouragement to Japan on two large poster board banners.

In addition to donating money to the Japanese Relief Fund, we wanted to show our support in a more visual way, so we took 324 photos at 2011 Sakura Days Japan Fair of over 1,000 people holding the "With You Japan" sign to let the people of Japan know that we are thinking of them and supporting them.
