Omote-sando Lights

One night walking through Omote-sando looking for a place to eat, there was a festival featuring artist installations of lights (candles). All along Omote-sando Boulevard were unique presentations.

Silent and impressed, people stood to watch the flames wave to the wind. Most had camera phones to capture the moment. Stopping to speak with an artist, he expressed thankfulness for people's receptiveness.

I was told there was no community planning for this event. The artists simply gathered one night to create. The police were no where to be seen.

Can you imagine this in New York City? Not without license or lawyer.
