This event takes place at the former Sasaki family residence, a designated Important Cultural Property in the Minami Ward of Niigata City. The illumination features a variety of light displays, including projection mapping that highlights traditional elements like shoji screens. The event showcases engineering technology-based interactive art created by students from Niigata University and an area produced by students from Mikata Junior High School.
