The “Zipangu”-themed illumination event is to start on Saturday at Nabana no Sato leisure park in Mie Prefecture.
The word “Zipangu,” meaning Japan, appears in the 13th century book by Marco Polo, in which Japan was described as “land of gold.”
The illumination features a 35-meter-high installation of Mt. Fuji, illuminated with multiple LED colors. It depicts scenes evoking the images of Japan as the “land of gold,” as well as the four seasons.
The illumination runs through May 31 next year.
