After the Great East Japan Earthquake, LOOM NIPPON has been promoting the "Cherry Blossom Project" activity born from KIBOU, which aims to "make Minami Sanriku the most famous cherry blossom spot in Tohoku," planted 3,000 cherry blossom trees by 20 years after the year of the earthquake, by the time the children born in the year of the earthquake grow into adulthood, and "we want to make Minami Sanriku the most famous cherry blossom spot in the Tohoku region."
