For what it's worth, the Japan Society, in NYC has a donation page--my
wife feels that they are pretty reasonable as far as actually using
funds for the purpose they're given.

As for what Stephen says, about two Japans, it was a bit like that here
in NYC with 9/11 (not comparing the two situations, but the two distinct
types).  Near the WTC was complete disaster--the rest of us in NYC were
somewhat inconvenienced.
