Like anyone this past week, we’ve been following the aftermath of the terrible events in Japan. We decided to produce a series of posters to support and encourage your donations and asked our friends Akinori Oishi to draw and All Cats Are Grey to print. The poster will be available from both the Barbican Art Gallery Shop and from the DesignMarketo website.

Tomorrow we will start printing the first batch of posters, there are already a few pictures on DesignMarketo’s flickr: love for Japan—more pictures are coming soon…

** UPDATE **

LOVE for Japan is a poster designed by Akinori Oishi and printed by All Cats Are Grey to help support temporary housing for the earthquake+tsunami hit japanese refugees.
