The digital art collective TeamLab have a reputation for some incredible light and projection mapping displays, and an upcoming event at Ibaraki's Kairakuen Garden is bound to continue that trend. The TeamLab Kairakuen Light Festival will run throughout February and March, and it intends to enhance the immense natural beauty that the garden is renowned for.
Colorful ovoid lights will decorate part of the garden, and they're interactive - they change color when visitors touch them. There will also be projection mapping displays around the bamboo grove and on an 800-year old cedar tree, plus numerous illuminated plum trees that Kairakuen is famous for.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1800 yen, and tickets will go on sale online in early January.
