At this event, a charity auction will be held, and the proceeds will be donated to the NPO Cultural City Kanazawa Initiative to support the revival of Noto's culture and crafts, which were affected by the disaster.
The talk sessions will be divided into four categories: 1) Life/Medicine, 2) Local Situation Reports, 3) Information/Communication, and 4) Sustainable Craft Development, and will feature well-known artists and cultural figures.
