Beyond lighting: the first in-person event in 4 years
explores what lies beyond the lighting industry and lighting design.

Enlighten Asia 2023 in Japan, held over two days from Wednesday, November 15 to Thursday, November 16, 2023, was the event’s first in-person iteration in the 4 years since the COVID-19 pandemic (with some parts also offered online). This year's theme was “Beyond Lighting.” Through a series of six seminars, featuring sessions with lighting designers from Japan and abroad, experts from various fields, and students, lighting and design issues in Asia were discussed from many perspectives to explore what lies beyond the lighting industry and lighting design. Other events included: “3-Minute Cooking for Lighting a Room” which introduced eye-catching lighting tricks, “Lighting Trends on Stage” in which lighting product developers presented items that address social themes and trends, and “MOTOKO's Room” featuring Motoko Ishii, a recipient of the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon. At the end of the first day, a cocktail party was held at the Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan, the venue and an Important Cultural Property of Japan. On the last day, the “Enlighten Asia in Japan Farewell Party” was held in Minami Ikebukuro Park. The participants enjoyed mingling in person after a long time away.

SDGs

【S-6】What is ”Totonou” lighting in the expanding SDG world?

Architect: Taichi Kuma
Sauna Professional : Totonoe Oyakata (Dai Matsuo)
M.D., Project Assistant Professor at Keio University School of Medicine, Representative Director of Japan Association of Sauna: Yasutaka Kato
ALG (Architectural Lighting Group): Miho Konishi (Moderator)

"Totonou" (a Japanese word) is a concept unique to the Japanese language that signifies achieving harmony and balance within oneself. In the context of Japanese sauna and bathing culture, it denotes the process of warming the body through temperature and humidity regulation, facilitating relaxation, detoxification, and the relief of physical and mental fatigue. "Totonou" encompasses the pursuit of overall mental and physical health and harmony, and it is believed that lighting design can promote the creation of environments conducive to achieving this state. As people's lifestyles and spatial arrangements rapidly evolve, there is a multifaceted consideration of how lighting design can contribute to achieving a state of "totonou." In light of the SDGs' target year of 2030, this study contemplates the ideal manifestation of lighting, incorporating the concept of "totonou" as a key theme.
