At the intersection of Ginza 2-chome, four corners are brand intersections (called Platinum Corner) where Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bulgaria, and Cartier solidify, but now the cartier building has been rebuilt and the Okura House has opened its grand opening on October 1st.
Before rebuilding, this cartier building (facility name: Okura House, Okura Main Building) had an "electric light pillar monument" installed on the wall facing Chuo-dori, but after rebuilding, the wall facing Ginza Marronnier Street This monument is fitted on the wall facing Ginza Marronnier Street.
This was commemorated in 1882 when the 2,000 candlelight (2,013 Candela) electric streetlight "Arc Light" was ignited at this place in 1882. People who did not know only the brightness of gas lights and lamps were surprised at the so brightness and seemed to gather every night to see this electric pole.
As a symbol of Civilization and enlightenment, he said, "One is the heavenly path
, the second is the moon
, the third is the arc light of Ginza."
Also, this time, Japan's first arc lamps were restored at this intersection, and a lighting ceremony was held on the evening of September 26. It seems that it is unknown how long the arc lights were at that time, but it was restored once in 1956, and the third generation restored lights were removed due to aging in 2012.
