Online Lantern Floating (Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park Lantern Floating Venue)

In Hiroshima, from 1947 to the present, citizens have been floating lanterns every year on August 6. This lantern floating is said to have started with lanterns inscribed with the names of those who lost their lives in the atomic bombing being floated down the river. The project "Message in Lanterns" started in 2015, marking 70 years after the war. When you float a lantern with your message in a virtual river, your words will be projected on digital signage at Hiroshima facilities and around the city. ■Notes Supported by: Lantern Floating Executive Committee (Hiroshima Festival Committee, Hiroshima Central Shopping District Promotion Federation)
