Fujikura Ltd. (Director, President and CEO Naoki Okada) will be setting up Christmas illuminations again this year. The illuminations will be held at "Fukagawa Gatharia" (Kiba, Koto-ku, Tokyo), a redeveloped site of the former Fukagawa factory owned by Fujikura. *1 This year's illuminations will feature "A Forest Shining on a Snowy Night."
The concept of this year's Christmas illumination is "A forest shining on a snowy night." Approximately 30,000 LED bulbs will decorate "Fukagawa Gatharia," creating a spectacle that looks like diamond dust sparkling in the moonlight.
A 7m-tall, shining forest will be installed in the central plaza of Fukagawa Gatharia, where people gather. The white-based, illuminated space evokes the image of a bright future.
The illuminations will be on from November 1st to December 25th, with some illuminations scheduled to continue until Valentine's Day on February 14th next year.
Please note that the lighting ceremony will not be held in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

"Fukagawa Gatharia" is an urban revitalization space redeveloped by Fujikura with the concept of "establishing a new identity for the Fukagawa-Kiba area."

*1 About Fukagawa Gatharia
This complex was completed in 2010 after redeveloping the former site of Fujikura's Fukagawa factory. It is an integrated facility that brings together office buildings, a large supermarket, a movie theater, a restaurant area, a fitness club, and more, with a view to inheriting the culture and traditions of the downtown area and creating a new era. Gatharia is a coined word made up of GATHER (gathering) + AREA + IA (a suffix derived from the Latin word for a country or region), and represents an area where people and things gather.
