ART TOWER MITO STARLIGHT FANTASY '97

ART TOWER MITO STARLIGHT FANTASY

The season is nearing again for the Art Tower Mito Starlight Fantasy, a festival of "natural poetry" that lends charm to the cold winter in Mito. Like last year, the tower soaring above the ATM complex will be illuminated at night, and the trees lining the streets in the area will be specially decorated with lights. This year will only be the second time that the Starlight Fantasy has been held, and the theme this time is to "broaden the compass of the light." Besides ATM, the pedestrian deck to the north of Mito Station will also be lit up simultaneously. Various events have been planned during the seven-week period by Mito citizens, thus imparting the sense of hands-on participation. The ATM Plaza will serve as a meeting site for the people of Mito to spend a moment together in winter. Winter can be a cold time, with people bustling hurriedly about breathing in the brisk air as they go about their business. We hope that the illumination of ATM Starlight Fantasy will warm up people's hearts a bit, adding color to the season. This winter will see the circle of people and light expanding even further on Mito's streets.
