Mount Fuji Appears in Roppongi!

Mount Fuji will appear in the heart of the city as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for Tokyo Midtown. The Edo-Fuji event will see a 6x23m installation accompanied by projection mapping displays constructed on the complex’s lawn space from March 17 to April 16.

“Plant hunter” Nishihata Seijun will be handling the production of the Edo-Fuji installation which is titled “aeru” and aims to celebrate Japan’s natural beauty and culture both ancient and modern.
