The art illumination “Wa no Akari x Hundred Steps 2022 ~ Light and Shadow / Hyakumonogatari ~” will be held at the Tokyo-designated tangible cultural property “Hundred Stages” in Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, a museum hotel of Japanese beauty.
With the theme of “Light and Shadow / Hyakumonogatari”, you can enjoy the shadow created by light and the contrast between two different elements. In each room, there will be an exhibition of 100 stories (ghost stories) suitable for summer, and as you move forward, you will be able to experience more stories.
At the introduction section, which leads to the cultural property “Hundred Stages”, which is the exhibition venue, you will be greeted by the charming expression of goldfish lanterns and the sound of cool wind chimes. At each venue, there are various concept lights such as lighting that casts shadows like art, sustainable bamboo lights that reuse abandoned bamboo grove, and Kabuki lights that express ghost stories, and the shadows created by them. Ghosts and youkai look into the world.
One of the traditional Japanese ghost story styles, “Hyakumonogatari,” is said to reveal a real mystery after the 100th story. The number of youkai and ghosts that can be seen and hidden from Akari Art increases as you climb the stairs. What is waiting for the room after climbing all the stairs?
Bamboo light by “Akarinova” was born to solve the serious environmental problems caused by abandoned bamboo grove. At the end, it becomes bamboo charcoal and bamboo chips, which fertilize the soil in the fields. While exploring beauty, we supported the efforts of exhibitors, who are naturally circulating, and cooperated with this exhibition.
