This year’s Hotaru Festival in Tokyo featured 100,000 glowing blue LED orbs, marking the lighting of the world’s largest tower; Tokyo’s new Sky Tree Tower. This unique light display was part of an art installation ‘Hikari no Symphony’ (or symphony of light) displayed in Tokyo’s Sumida River. Hikari’s LED eye-candy combined with the Skytree Tower’s alternating displays of skyblue and purple LEDs has brought a new light to Tokyo.
