Cat Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Kiha 222 is on the path to becoming a Tetsudo Shrine!https://readyfor.jp/projects/jinjya?fbclid=IwAR0q9_maLYB0ljyibMf9PdfCuEe_BeT3vPASyxiUaPl8jMP_-ttAb5QFB9A 2 1 Link to comment
Cat Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Roxanne & I have pledged support for the Kiha 222 restoration and shrine conversion. Pledges are going through the Japanese crowdfunding site Readyfor. Registering at Readyfor was a little tricky, they are only set up for Japanese addresses. They do have a workaround for non-residents, and this appears to have worked — details here: https://readyfor.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/360031016472-海外からの支援?fbclid=IwAR2XD7Y6abFcFJO3lFVrp_eJE4-69gFSghtgfseZ4AtcSViV_CufEvDzkhw I hope they raise the funds and we can visit the tetsudo shrine!

Cat Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 A few days ago, the ReadyFor campaign reached its goal to restore Kiha 222 and establish it as a shrine. They're doing a push for more shrine details in the last 3 days of the campaign. Now, Roxanne & I definitely have to visit the shrine we helped to fund. : 3 https://readyfor.jp/projects/jinjya/announcements/153365?utm_campaign=announcement&utm_medium 3 Link to comment
