Lighting Detectives Jr. Workshop in Tsukudajima (March 2026)
We will hold the “Lighting Detectives Jr. Workshop” during the March spring break in Tsukudajima, where our office is located. This year’s theme is: “Hunting for Lighting Heroes and Villains in Tsukuda & Lighting Up: Making the invisible visible to create new city symbols.”
The workshop aims to explore several questions with the children: Do “Lighting Heroes and Villains” exist in our daily environment? What is “light pollution,” and is it present in our town? Are there landmarks that remain hidden in the darkness of the night? Through this program, we will survey the role of light in our community.
