~Oasis of heart Iroha bookstore~
It was established in the Meiji era as a soy sauce store in the Iida Town shopping district of Suzu City, Noto Peninsula.They started their capital and business alliance recently after the war was finished, and they expanded their business a few times until now. However, because of the Noto Peninsula earthquake on the Reiwa 6, January 1st, their store and
house were completely destroyed. Nevertheless, they just stayed positive and moved forward. They named their store “Reborn”. This is the Iroha bookstore revival project, and they are working hard to open a new store in Spring of 2026.

One part of the revenue and donation from this performance will be utilized as reconstruction support for the region that was devastated by the Noto Peninsula earthquake through the Iroha bookstore. We hope children of the disaster area will experience new books and cultures, and this will be related to restoring their hearts with a spirit of time learning and a feeling hope. We would appreciate it if two purchases of music and books are made. This will be helpful and will support steps for the future recovery of the Noto Peninsula by connecting people and regions.
