  1. Tour de Tohoku (TDT) is a scenic cycling event that takes place along the coast of Miyagi prefecture - areas severely damaged by the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami. The event raises funds to support the Tohoku recovery efforts, and also serves to introduce the Tohoku region to outsiders. In 2019, the TDT collaborated with the creators of "Yowamushi Pedal", a popular sports anime about competitive cyclists. The artists prepared a beautiful gallery of illustrations for the event, featuring Yuzuru Hanyu among the 16 well-known Pedal characters. Huge panels of the illustrations were shown around Japan (I saw them in Shinjuku Station, Tokyo) to publicize the event. They were discussed extensively in the General Yuzu stream in the summer of 2019, but I thought the illustrations deserve a space of their own, and would provide an uplifting message in this time of pandemic. There are 9 panels altogether, 7 of them illustrate actual locations in Miyagi, and Yuzu appears in 6 of them. Each illustration comes with brief words expressing the mood of the scene, and the website offers additional description. I found them moving and very much in the manner and style of Yuzu. In the following days, I will put up the illustrations with the English translation. Here is the link to the gallery: https://tourdetohoku.yahoo.co.jp/2019/info/pedal/ And the map of the TDT route:
