Citizens of Japan are still in dire need of help after the disastrous earthquake. Another way that has become available to donate to its relief efforts is by purchasing the Andre x Japan Flag 'We Are Family' poster. The [famous French graffiti artist Andre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elho-x-andr-saraiva) is lending a helping hand by designing a one-of-a-kind print to be sold. You may recognize his art that's appeared in Banksy's famous documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop.

The Andre x Japan Flag 'We Are Family' poster features the artist's well-known wide smiley face, minus the spray can drips and stick body that's normally also featured in all of his work. There will only be 100 of these prints produced and proceeds will go towards helping [earthquake relief efforts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-v).
