#notopeninsula Prayers and Hopes for the Noto Peninsula | Focus #29

At around 4:10 PM on January 1st, an earthquake struck the Noto area of Ishikawa Prefecture. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to everyone affected by this earthquake, as well as to their families and friends.

We are aware that many creators who regularly use cizucu reside in the affected areas. We sincerely wish for your safety and for the swift recovery of the disaster-stricken regions.

This earthquake has caused the collapse of buildings and damage to roads, depriving many people of their peaceful daily lives. While rescue operations and disaster relief are underway in some areas, full recovery will take time.

Believing in the power of photography, we at cizucu are committed to continuously sharing the journey of recovery, ensuring that the memory of this disaster is not forgotten and encouraging people to visit Noto again. In this magazine feature, with permission, we are honored to present the photographs of Jang Kumi, who has continued to share the allure of Noto.

With prayers for recovery, we would like to introduce to you the beautiful landscapes of the Noto Peninsula through photography. The path to regaining daily life may be long and arduous, but these photographs capturing the beauty of Noto will continue to shine as a beacon of hope for recovery.

The in-app hashtag #notopenisula features a wealth of captivating photographs documenting the breathtaking natural beauty, rich culture, and deep-rooted traditions of the Noto Peninsula. We sincerely hope that the affected areas, including Noto, will recover as soon as possible, and that everyone will regain a peaceful and beautiful daily life, just like in these photographs.

Until the hands of the stopped clock begin to move again and the beauty of the Noto Peninsula once more becomes part of your everyday life, cizucu will continue to offer our unwavering support.
