Art of Light - Projection Mapping -
the Osaka Festival of Lights 2019
Episode of Art of Light of the Osaka Festival of Lights
Tomo&Chouchou went to the Osaka Festival of Lights [Japanese: Osaka Hikari-Renaissance, OSAKA光のルネサンス] in 2019. At that time, Art of Light ~Projection Mapping~ was the main show. Tomo&Chouchou had ever been to the Osaka Festival of Lights before. We didn't see project mapping at that time. We enjoyed food stands and illumination more. So Tomo&Chouchou was curious about projection mapping. Normally we don't like projection mapping so much. However we loved this projection mapping a lot. Projection mapping was held at Osaka City Central Public Hall [Japanese: 大阪市中央公会堂]. Osaka City Public Hall and projection mapping were matching very well. The hall changed every moment. There was a story. We could understand Japanese culture. We could also enjoy western culture. We can feel the nature such as flowers, wind, fish and water flow. We can also feel the history, architecture, mystery and so on. It was the most successful projection mapping that we had ever seen. It was very colorful. It was fast. We felt the movement of the lights. We saw this show two or three times! We were never bored!

Nakanoshima and Midosuji street are romantic spots in Osaka during Christmas time. We can enjoy illumination and Christmas moods every winter. We can forget the coldness and we can easily walk and stay outside. Nakanoshima park is located in the middle of business area. It is the moment that we can forget about the job and we can simply enjoy Christmas.
For your information,
Osaka decided not to have the projection mapping at Osaka City Public Hall in 2021 because many people would gather and stop to see the projection mapping. It was the reason to avoid infection. However there is a projection mapping on the wall of the Museum of Oriental Ceramics [東洋陶磁美術館]. The robot senses the movement of the people who walk along the wall. Then it projects the figure. So it encourages not to stop. Anyway we can enjoy projection mapping somehow in 2021.
