Just a note over here that I just finished a post on my official shop blog on Japan.  Includes links to BPALs charity blog post, where they also list the number to donate through texting; other etsy sellers donating 100% proceeds of certain items to charity; and my own donation.  

In a nutshell, while I hope to get something better going in the near future (particularly if the cherry trees start blooming relatively soon), for the immediate, the first person who emails me a screencap or an e-receipt or any kind of proof of donating to any Japanese Earthquake relief charity for more than $10 will get a Magic Vial - Sakura pendant absolutely free. No S&H, no nothing.  You show me you donated already, and the first person gets it straight from me as a thank you.

There looks to be at least a hundred ways to donate out there, and while the immediate surge is important, it's also important to remember than they are going to need help not just for the first few days or weeks, but for months and possibly years; so if you can't give now, think about saving up and giving in a month or 3 or 6 or whatever is best for you.

I was thinking of doing a few jewelery pieces and auctioning them off so I could send the proceeds there as well. And doing the same to help raise money for another deviant that's going through some pretty hard times.

Perhaps you could put one or two vials up for special auction with proceeds going to Japan?

I'm thinking about doing that once I can formulate some Japanese themes for Magic Vial Pendants that don't require cherry blossoms (which aren't blooming right now)

So, this is a kind of temporary first attempt. You show me you did donate, I just send it to you for free. It has the same end results, where all the buyer's money goes to the charity and they get a free goodie as a thank you.
