An art event called "Candle Night " was held in Chayamachi area, Osaka city.

Originally "Candle Night" is a movement to propose to turn off the light and use candle for 2hrs on the evening of summer and winter solstices.

Do something special . . .
Read a book with your child by candlelight.
Enjoy a quiet dinner with a special person.
This night can mean many things for many people.
A time to save energy, to think about peace,
to think about people in distant lands
who share our planet.


Original idea was a movement began in Canada.
In 2001, Canadian citizens held a voluntary blackout to protest the U.S. Bush Administration's energy policy to build one new nuclear power plant each month.


The event held in Osaka aimed at promoting this movement.
Candle art created by artists, students studying art, citizens were exhibited.


Around this area, there are some malls, restaurants, and business buildings.
Some of them cooperated with the event and turn of their illumination.
