The sound of bell bugs ring out as autumn arrives at Nijo-jo Castle. Autumn leaves, silver grass, and flowers associated with the castle's history, such as the peonies painted on the Karamon Gate, will adorn the main gate and invite visitors to the fantastical world of NAKED FLOWERS at Nijo-jo Castle.
A path of flowers and light depicts autumn flowers and grasses growing from buds lit by moonlight in this "ikebana" piece crafted by the Ikenobo school of flower arrangement.
In front of the hall of Ninomaru Palace that overlooks the Ninomaru Garden, flowers and grasses rejoice in the arrival of autumn, depicted with delicate yet dynamic beauty through layers of projection mapping and musical instruments.
The power of the moon fills the air and the "Queen of the Night" flowers, which bloom only for one night, come into bloom. The flowers blossom one after another, transforming Nijo-jo Castle into a vibrant world of flowers that under the moonlit night and reflected on the surface of the water. *Become a contributing part of the art experience with the wearable "LED light FreFlow®" (available for rental for an additional fee).
The Koun-tei, tinted in autumn colors and decorated with graceful sounds, offers a majestic garden scene.
The crisp autumn breeze envelops the fresh autumn leaves of Seiryu-en Garden in light. Visitors' wearable art will further color the illuminated autumn leaves.
This floral artwork is a collaboration between the grand master of the Ikenobo school of ikebana and the flowers of light created by participants. The experience of flower arrangement is reimagined into a participatory art form unique to this modern age.
Stand in front of the white wall and see a single flower of your own bloom alongside the language of flowers.
Flowers and people dance along to the beautiful music under the moonlight in this moonlit evening party. Enjoy an elegant autumn evening with drinks and sweets made using powdered green tea from renown tea shop Fukujuen.
