Lighting Designer Hiroto Tōtō Illuminates the Skytree

Hiroto Totsune, lighting designer for the Skytree
Inspiration for the design came from Mount Fuji, standing as if watching over from afar.
For 'Iki,' the central pillar, or 'shinbashira,' is highlighted with blue light.
For 'Miyabi,' the structural beauty of the 'sori' (curve) and 'mukuri' (convexity) transitioning from triangle to circle is emphasized by lighting the outer frame in purple.
The gentle light emanating from the Skytree, he explained, is a reflection of the Japanese sensibility that finds beauty in subtle nuances.
He named the designs 'Iki' (chic) and 'Miyabi' (elegance), embodying the stylish spirit and aesthetic sensibilities of Edo, and incorporated them into the design.
During 'Tokyo Hotaru' on May 6th, the Skytree was illuminated. Totsune also attended as one of the spectators.
He was deeply moved by the great cheer that erupted when the lights were turned on.
The two lights, 'Iki' and 'Miyabi,' embody Totsune's wish: 'I hope this light gives people the feeling that they can face tomorrow with renewed energy.'
