The tragedy that struck on 11 March last changed everything in the Japanese people's daily lives and consequently radically altered the collection of pictures that Suzuki, originally from Fukushima, decided to bring to Milan. We even thought of not coming to Milan, explains Koji Yokoi of Karimoku, but then we decided the best thing we could do was carry on and offer our assistance through our work and by telling people about the tragedy.
