② "Tree of Light" / Central Square
The Tree of Light towers above the glittering Palace of Lights.
The organic curves of light that emerge at the end of the tree express the fluctuation of time and space.It also resembles the shimmering surface of water.
Please enjoy the mysterious world of light refracted and reflected from the metal.

③ "Lotus Pond Where Dragons Dwell" / Waterfall Plaza
The dragon is a symbol of the great power flowing in the natural world.
The lotus grows its stem out of the mud and blooms its beautiful, unblemished flowers.
The lotus pond protected by the dragon represents the beautiful heart of the Japanese people, who have a sense of awe and reverence toward nature.
The modern urban landscape of the Tokyo Waterfront City and the mythology of nature merge to shine a light into the future.
