Last night I went to see what I thought was going to be a modest art-light event on the Yokohama waterfront, secretly expecting that the photos from past years were exaggerating the quality of the illuminations. I was SO WRONG! This event was spectacular. See for yourself!
You know you’re in the right place when you chance across a plaza lit up in ever-changing colors.
Suddenly, a voice boomed out from one of the buildings and a living face materialized in the wall!
Then another one joined it, and they began to insult each other!
A crowd gathered nearby to watch a man in a fantastically illuminated suit. Wherever he walked, he took a little island of light with him.
This field of eerily glowing mushrooms had a pressure pad set in their midst. If you jumped on it, tiny blue lights embedded in the ground flashed all around you.
Behind the café, an ever-changing wall of neon became the selfie background of choice
This glow-in-the-dark elephant squirted water from its trunk when its tail was cranked.
A garden of neon goth bunnies springs up in the middle of a lawn.
Lanterns made from odd materials float against the Yokohama skyline.
Under the old train bridge, a rippling curtain of glowing panels flutters in the wind.
Even the sightseeing boats were bedizened with neon and fairy lights.
