| 1st stage of RIKU X TOMO |
2 years passed since the earthquake disaster.
The city of Rikuzentakata still falls into pitch-darkness with deep silence after dusk today. Rikutomo is a restoring project intended to light up the city at night.
Our project is not just about the beauty of colorful lights, but it’s an art project which serves to provide safety with local residents.

The project is planned to install "Pet Light", lights made up of solar panels and PET (plastic) bottles, and "Tomosuki", customized solar garden lights. Those lights will charge themselves through attached butteries and solar panels in the daytime and use the power to light LED at night. By this means, any electric cost won’t be necessary resulting in a burden-free project for local residents after the installation.
