Using 50,000 carnations, we created 5 flower carpets on Gyoko-dori with a total of 300 citizen participants. The mirror painting series drawn by Kunisada Utagawa, an ukiyo-e artist from the Edo period, was supervised by Yasuhiko Fujikawa, a flower artist, and revived in the present age. The size of one piece is 48㎡ (6m x 8m). Princess Tomohito of Mikasa, Mayor of Chiyoda Higuchi, chief priest of Kanda Myojin Shimizu, Ambassador of the Republic of Malta Andre, Chiharu Araki, Nobuko Irie, and Takako Shirai attended the completion ceremony on the first day. A live performance of “Flowers are in bloom” was also performed. Many media visited the interview on the day and were introduced in many programs such as “Imperial Album” and “Imperial Family”. Partly because of this, the number of visitors during the period was about 90,000 in three days.
