Approximately 300 cherry trees of 50 varieties are in full bloom, and naked art is fused with cherry blossoms at different peak times, from wild species to cultivated varieties. The dragon god of Nijo Castle’s guardian deity, Sakuramori, awakens and presents a spectacular projection mapping show announcing the arrival of spring. Naked cherry blossom art displays seven zones of Nijo Castle’s historical buildings and cherry blossom viewing spots, including the Karamon gate, an important cultural property. We will deliver an immersive space of cherry blossoms filled with color. ■This year, 80 years after the end of the war, we will be presenting co-creative art with children in Kyoto at Nijo Castle, a castle of peace where there was no fighting This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, and artist Ryotaro Muramatsu has decided to collaborate with children in Kyoto on his art project “DANDELION PROJECT”, which connects the world through prayers for peace. “DANDELION PROJECT” is a participatory art project that involves planting (installing) dandelion interactive art objects “DANDELION” around the world, making flowers that are a symbol of peace bloom around the world. It has so far traveled to 64 locations around the world, including Paris, San Francisco, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Kyoto, and was exhibited at Orizuru Tower in Hiroshima in 2023 as part of the Partners Official Program for the G7 Hiroshima Summit. This time, illustrations of cherry blossoms drawn by children who have learned about the history of Nijo Castle will be projected onto the inner moat as a DANDELION production, and will be shown alternately with a projection mapping show in which the dragon god of the cherry blossoms dances. We will deliver prayers for peace from Nijo Castle through art with motifs of cherry blossoms and DANDELION, flowers that represent spring. ■Naked’s food and beverage team produces a menu that will brighten up your cherry blossom viewing experience, with a focus on cherry blossom drinks and food Food and drink stalls selling cherry blossom viewing menus will be set up in the Ninomaru Palace courtyard at the south gate. In addition to cherry blossom sweets, drinks, alcohol, and popular cherry blossom viewing food, this event, which attracts many inbound tourists, also offers a vegan menu. Enjoy cherry blossom viewing at Nijo Castle, a world heritage site. ■Limited quantity! A new “picnic area” exclusively for those who purchase the picnic set, which comes with a leisure sheet with a cute cherry blossom design, has been established.
