Jarman CEO Ruth Jarman serves as advisor for the New Tōhoku Project under the Ministry of Reconstruction’s effort to support Japan’s amazing Tōhoku area in its revival from the devastating Great Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami that happened on March 11, 2011. As part of this effort Ruth and two other advisors travel to the Tōhoku area and check on the various efforts that have received funding from the Ministry. Here Ruth is pictured with fellow advisor Professor Shinohara who is actively involved in the effort to increase and welcome visitors to Japan.
