ABOUT
Tsuruga Castle, renowned as one of the most beautiful castles in Japan, becomes the canvas for projection mapping on its main keep and stone walls. The show features digital animations inspired by traditional Aizu culture such as Aizu lacquerware, Aizu painted candles, and Aizu cotton; landscape paintings depicting Aizu; and a dazzling display of digital flower art symbolizing the castle's fame as a cherry blossom spot.
In addition, a sea-of-clouds effect synchronized with the projection mapping will conjure a magical night scene of Tsuruga Castle floating in the mist.
