Takasho Digitec Sponsors 'TOKYO LIGHTS 2026,' Exhibits Illumination at Shinjuku Central Park's 'Light Art Park'

Outdoor lighting manufacturer Takasho Digitec Co., Ltd. (Tokyo HQ: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Ryosuke Furusawa) announces its sponsorship of "TOKYO LIGHTS 2026," a festival of light to be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 1 and Shinjuku Central Park from Saturday, May 23 to Sunday, May 31, 2026. The company will exhibit illumination installations at "Light Art Park," a light art park developed primarily in the park area.

"TOKYO LIGHTS," launched in 2021 to broadcast the nighttime appeal of Tokyo domestically and internationally and expand nighttime tourism, has garnered global attention as an event where visitors can enjoy one of the world's largest international projection mapping competitions and light installation art by domestic and international artists.

Through illuminations and light-ups, Takasho Digitec promotes "light-based city development" that colors public spaces, commercial facilities, and off-season tourist destinations nationwide. Through its sponsorship and exhibition at this event, the company will widely broadcast its efforts to enhance spatial value and revitalize local communities through the "presentation of light."

"Light Art Park," where the company will exhibit, is an experiential project centered around Shinjuku Central Park where visitors can enjoy installation art fusing light, sound, and space for free. Kenji Kohashi, a creative director who has successfully led various large-scale events such as the closing ceremonies of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, will serve as the general director. He will express a new urban space through diverse light art by domestic and international artists.

In the company's exhibition area, "LIGHT PLAY FIELD," the presentation will be themed around "Festa Luce," an illumination event produced by the company since its launch in 2017 that has contributed to creating wintertime bustle in regional cities across Japan, including Wakayama. As the exclusive Japanese distributor for MK Illumination, a global leading company in illumination, Takasho Digitec will exhibit gorgeous and dynamic presentation items, such as large animal motifs and glowing chairs highly popular with children, providing spaces for relaxation and excellent photo opportunities.

Realistic animal motifs from MK Illumination's "LIMITED LINE" will be on display. The company's illuminations are used in over 120 countries worldwide, with a track record of 4,000 installations annually. (Image is for illustrative purposes only)

"TOKYO LIGHTS" is held with the aim of broadcasting hope and inspiration for the future from Tokyo to the world, utilizing the universal tool of "light" alongside cutting-edge technology and entertainment. With its corporate philosophy of "coloring people's hearts with the presentation of light," Takasho Digitec will maximize the potential of light and further contribute to human connections and regional revitalization through its participation in "TOKYO LIGHTS."
