Various speakers from Japan and abroad discussed the forefront of lighting design under the theme of “Diversity of Light.”
”Enlighten Asia in Japan 2019” was held this spring at the same time as Lighting Fair 2019, which was hosted by the Japan Lighting Manufacturers Association (JLMA) and Nikkei Inc. This fourth annual event included two keynote lectures by famous overseas lighting designers, and deftly selected 18 seminars under the theme of “Diversity of Light”—such as the relationship between topical SDGs and lighting, lighting that is friendly to humans, and regional revitalization—by domestic and overseas speakers, who were publicly solicited in cooperation with the IALD headquarters in North America. In cooperation with the Lighting Fair 2019 Planning Committee, we planned and organized various other events, including the co-re-ca-light (a light for the future) exploration tour that introduced must-see exhibitions from the standpoint of lighting designers, an outside-venue tour with lighting designers for visiting night scenes in Tokyo, the co-re-ca-light stage, and studio mini-seminars. On the last day, the Enlighten Asia in Japan Farewell Party was held with overseas guests at the Sumida Aquarium, which is always guaranteed for success with powerful programs and unique ideas. This time, the event was rounded off with a world of mystical light and water at the Sumida Aquarium.
