  3. Today I visited the East Park in Sannomiya for Kobe Luminarie.
    This gorgeous electric display event was started as a memorial for the victims of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and as a charity for reconstruction efforts. For those who experienced the winter blackouts caused by the disaster, the rich and brilliant "light" meant the symbol of hope for recovery and reconstruction.
    As decades pass, restoration is almost...now almost completed the circumstances and context are changing, so Luminarie evolved from the symbol of hope for recovery to a symbol of self-affirmation for the local citizens who have recovered, and is now becoming a tourist event.
    However, memorial music is still played in the central square and donations are collected.

  4. From 2024 the familiar 'corridor of lights' will be transformed into smaller enclaves of illuminations dotted across the city.

    Italian craftsmen continue to be deeply involved in the Luminarie, which attracts around 3.5 million visitors each year.

    Interestingly the event, in order to be as environmentally friendly as possible, uses electricity generated from biomass renewable energy.

  6. Thousands of painted bulbs are gathered into intricate designs, illuminating the Old Foreign Settlement (旧居留地 'Kyūkyoryūchi') and Higashi Yūenchi Park (東遊園地公園), home of the 'Great Hanshin Earthquake Memorial Flame' (1.17希望の灯り).

    Valerio Festi and Imaoka Hirokazu (今岡寛和) collaborated to produce the first winter spectacle, working with bulbs donated by the Italian government.

    Each year 200,000 tiny lights are reconfigured into new patterns and shapes.

  8. Before the pandemic the Luminarie was held in December, in the run-up to Christmas, but from this year the event will move back to January 19th to 28th. It will follow memorial events held for victims of the Great Hanshin Earthquake on January 17th.

    The Luminarie will also be spread across the city for the first time, to lessen congestion and in an effort to make the event more sustainable.
