インスタ映えするフラワーイベントFLOWERS BY NAKED 2018の紹介動画
こちらの動画は「nippon.com」が公開したフラワーイベント「flowes by Naked 2018」を紹介した動画「Digital Art on Ancient Walls: Kyoto’s Nijō Castle Lit Up in High-Tech Show | nippon.com」です。
2018年11月からのおよそ一か月間、京都の世界遺産・二条城で、花をテーマにした参加者体験型のプロジェクション・マッピングが開催されました。
インスタ映えすることでも話題になった空間アート。
今回は、このFLOWES BY NAKEDのイベントを手始めに二条城の魅力をお伝えします。
FLOWES BY NAKED(フラワーズ バイ ネイキッド) とは
FLOWERS BY NAKED(フラワーズ バイ ネイキッド)とは、アーティスト村松亮太郎(株式会社ネイキッド代表)を筆頭に、花、オブジェ、映像、音楽、香り、そしてインタラクティブをメインコンテンツとした体験型イベントです。
プロモーションの一環としてテーマ曲である「輪舞曲」もリリースされています。
東京では日本橋で開催され、翌年には文化都市・京都でもイベントを開催。
京都・二条城は大政奉還の舞台にもなったことで有名で、おりしも2018年は大政奉還から150年の節目を迎えた年でした。
世界遺産・二条城の魅力
世界遺産・元離宮二条城は1603年に江戸幕府初代将軍・徳川家康により築かれた平城(ひらじろ)です。
平城とは山地ではなく平地に築かれた城のことで、二条城は京都市中京区にあります。
城全体が国の史跡に、そして二の丸御殿が国宝に指定されています。
動画では二の丸御殿のプロジェクション・マッピングが0:46から紹介されています。
二条城にもかつて天守閣がありましたが、天災により焼失。現在は天守台を残すのみです。
また、唐門は絢爛豪華な桃山時代の様式を残す貴重な門で、動画では0:13からデジタルアートの様子が映し出されています。
二条城は春になると京都のお花見処としてもおすすめの観光名所です。
桜の木が敷地内で50品目、300本も植えられ、素晴らしい景色を見せてくれます。
お土産屋さんでは、入場記念符が販売されており、二条城に来た記念におすすめです。
国際都市・京都の魅力
海外の観光都市ランキングでも上位を占め、人気のある京都は、日本の歴史が詰まった国際都市であり、二条城に限らずおすすめの旅行スポットがたくさんあります。
京都は交通アクセスも良く、駐車場やホテルも多いので、二条城に訪れたら、ホテルや旅館に宿泊して周辺エリアの探索もしてみることをおすすめします。
二条城から少し足を伸ばせば、陰陽師で有名な清明神社など穴場スポットもあります。
フラワーイベントFLOWERS BY NAKED 2018の紹介まとめ
二条城では桜のライトアップや、FLOWERS BY NAKEDのようなデジタルアートイベントが定期的に開催されています。
今後のイベント開催情報は二条城やFLOWERS BY NAKEDの公式サイトから確認できます。
