Hikone Castle in Shiga Prefecture is famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot, with approximately 1,100 cherry blossom trees in full bloom in spring and approximately 100,000 cherry blossom viewing visitors every year. Artist Ryotaro Muramatsu's art ``DANDELION PROJECT'', which connects the world with prayers for peace, is now available in a cherry blossom version on the existing castle tower that was completed in 1606 and is designated as a national treasure!
As a co-created art project with the children of Hikone City, pictures of cherry blossoms drawn by the children are spread over the castle tower of Hikone Castle, and the entire castle is dyed in a gorgeous cherry blossom color. In addition, the Nishinomaru/Kanenomaru area will be illuminated with real cherry blossoms at night, allowing you to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom both digitally and in real life.
The extremely popular lantern-shaped art "NAKED Distance Chochin®" will also be held (*Please be sure to check the official website for the latest information) Enjoy an early cherry blossom viewing experience at Hikone Castle.
