'Lightings for Festival' 

Room Interior

Aomori’s ‘Nebuta’ is famous festival on large lighten up floats are driving through Japan’s main island Honshu’s North most city, Aomori’s main street during nights in early August.

Thousands of citizens come out and dance around all night.

In this exhibit, a Nebuta, figured lantern, was set in the tatami floored room.  Considering the scaled down size in order to set in a room, visual impact of the Nebuta was still so strong that I lost my breath for a while.

祭りのあかり

Painting on the wall

青森のねぶた祭りは8月の初めの夜、市の中心地の大通りに電飾した大きなねぶたの山車を引きながら何千人が夜通し踊る大きなお祭りです。

この展示では、畳敷の部屋の中にねぶたが置かれており、小型のねぶたでも近くで見るとすごい迫力で息を呑みました。
