Details
The event utilizes bamboo, a specialty of Tagami Town, to create a space where sound and light merge. It addresses the challenges of abandoned bamboo groves while promoting the region's charm. The event features both paid venues, including Tagami Bamboo Forest, Tsubaki Juso-so, and TBBB Tagami Bamboo Museum, and free venues such as the Michi-no-Eki Tagami roadside station, the station plaza art installation, Hikari no Mi (Fruits of Light), and Yuda Onsen. The bamboo art installations are created in collaboration with artists, rope playground artists, the Tagami Bamboo Committee, and local residents. The project involves local residents in all stages from maintenance to operation.
