At the end of a busy year, let’s take a moment to pause. We hope that this will be a place where you can look back, reflect on your thoughts, and feel the passage of time. ◆2024-2025 theme “onENess” “EN” stands for relationship, performance, banquet, flame, etc. It represents connections, experiences, poignant events, and memories. Each one is connected by an invisible thread, and eventually becomes a large circle. “ONENESS” means that everything is connected and in harmony. Looking back on this past year, the winter lights created with the hope that each and every experience we have accumulated will harmonize beautifully and connect to the future will illuminate a gentle and gentle time.
