The present event is to be held at One-Hundred-Step Staircase. The first edition last year was hugely successful, mobilizing some 60,000 visitors.

The second edition in 2016 is organized on a larger scale and under four themes: “festivals”, “arts”, “crafts” and “traditional performing arts”.

Expect more than 30 works of Japanese “lights” and “colours”, including: opus by Yuki Nishimoto (sumi-e artist or ink-and-wash painter) and Tadaharu Kawamura (plastic artist); Japanese summer items such as Edo furin (wind chimes; Shinohara Furin Hompo Co., Ltd) and Edo glass (Nakakin Glass Co.); and exhibits of traditional festivals across the country including the “Big Three” from the Tohoku region.
