Old Yamaju Residence LED Candle Device Exhibition

About this event

To pass down the Old Yamaju Residence, a precious cultural resource of the town, to future generations, Aikawa Town has been running the 'Yamaju Residence Plus Act Management Project' since 2016. Aiming to create and promote new charms of the Yamaju Residence, this project has hosted events such as cosplay gatherings and classical ensembles. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, a special exhibition using 'LED Candle Devices' will be held in collaboration with Kanagawa Institute of Technology, with which the town holds a comprehensive partnership agreement. The LED Candle Device is a patented lighting apparatus that recreates the natural flicker of traditional Japanese candles (wa-rosoku) using LED lighting. Five LED lights shift their flickering in response to the intensity of voices or wind, recreating the natural sway, flame color, and height of traditional Japanese candles. At the exhibition, visitors can enjoy a mystical space created by these unique devices. In conjunction with the exhibition, a photo contest, an origami LED workshop, and photography classes will also be held.
