Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In March of 2011, the northeastern Chinese city of Changchun provided 10 tons of drinking water to Sendai, a sister city in Japan. This donation was made in response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The water was packaged in 800 boxes and shipped to Japan. The monetary value of this donation is unknown. The Tōhoku earthquake took place on March 11, 2011 about 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of the Tōhoku region in Japan. It lasted approximately six minutes, causing a tsunami. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake recorded in the world since modern seismography began in 1900. This earthquake prompted assistance from various countries, including China. This donation is one of several from China to Japan following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
