Tokyo Midtown will be displaying in the garden area original carp streamers designed by creators to celebrate the health of children. This was a unique opportunity for designers from all countries to freely conceive and design a specific aspect of Japanese culture.

A Bridge to the Starry Sky draws inspiration from Japan's Tanabata festival into a vibrant modern design. My Koinobori reimagines the legend of Orihime the seamstress and Hikoboshi the cow herder, and how their romantic tale has touched the heart of Japanese culture. On one side, warm colors paint the passionate separation and reunion of the star-crossed lovers. On the flip side, the Koinobori comes alive with vibrant evening festivities and love. Through these colorful and whimsical illustrations, I hope viewers can remember to cherish happy memories and loved ones when they gaze up towards an evening night sky.
