TokyoDex’s Daniel Rosen and Jay Horinouchi, who spent almost a year as a volunteer leader in disaster-hit Tohoku, spearhead a community arts project in the devastated town of Karakuwa. A kickoff party for the effort at SuperDeluxe will see a member of taiko drum powerhouse Kodo sharing the stage with a diverse assembly of talented musicians. Under Rosen and Horinouchi’s crowd-funded Tohoku Artist Caravan, artists will paint murals around Karakuwa in an effort to revitalize the community and encourage tourism.
