Akira Hasegawa's "Digital Hanging Scroll" is a digital art that has been screened in the United States, Bulgaria, China, etc., including the Parthenon, and has received international acclaim. "PEACE OF LIGHT" is the first in a park in Tokyo. It will be shown. Invented with inspiration from the hanging scroll between the floors, it is said to be the art of "Ichi-go-ichi-kai", where there is no same image and no same color. At this event, the entire interior of the Mizukami Ongakudo, which is a symbol connecting Shinobazu Pond and the town of Ueno, will be wrapped in overwhelming light.
In this "PEACE OF LIGHT", three performances will be collaborated and performed so as to weave in the light of the digital hanging scroll. First of all, a performance where a local shop owner brings a candle to a prayer animal object standing in the light created by the artists. Then, a beautiful piano and soprano performance that is guided by the light and snuggles up. Finally, a shakuhachi performance will be performed that fuses the concept of the "one-tone Buddhahood" of the classical shakuhachi with a digital hanging scroll. A total of about 90 minutes is scheduled to be delivered.
Hiromi Maekawa, Vice Chairman of Ueno 2-chome Nakamachi-dori Shotenkai, who mainly produces the project, said, "When I conveyed my enthusiasm to Mr. Hasegawa and other artists, everyone felt enthusiastic. And Shinobazu Pond.・ I fell in love with the Mizukami Ongakudo. Of course, I had a desire to do it with the audience, but on the contrary, I also feel the significance of holding it because it is this time of year. I want to deliver a moment of healing for my soul. "
Scheduled delivery time is 2021/2/3 (Wednesday) 17: 30-19: 00. It will be distributed on Youtube, and you can enjoy beautiful 8K video. This project is a project of "Let's play Shinobazu!

Let's play Shinobazu! Pond and town
What I felt again after becoming a corona wreck was the gratitude of Shinobazu Pond. The only natural pond in the center of Tokyo. Local shop owners wanted to be with Shinobazu Pond in the town of Ueno. I want to express it from Nakamachi Dori, which is the closest store to Shinobazu Pond. With such a concept, the project "Let's play Shinobazu!" Is a collaboration between two shops facing Nakamachi Dori. Pond and Town ”has begun.
Pray and heal at Shinobazu Pond, and see, know, and eat at Nakamachi Dori. We will develop a number of programs with Shinobazu Pond and Nakamachi Dori as one stage. There are many long-established stores rooted in the region, such as "Peace of Light" by world-famous artist Akira Hasegawa at the Mizukami Ongakudo, "Shitamachi Art Gallery" where the works of artists active in the area decorate the storefront. We will continue to launch projects that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to the elderly, from real to online, such as "Shinobazu Wa Tour". The theme is the convergence of the corona wreck and the wish for the reconstruction of the town. Your wish will change the future. Wishing for a recovery from Corona together, why don't you support your city in our area? As a first step towards a new life, looking back at the local area.
