You can see a colorful glow over the Eitai Bridge.

"Akahana" is a masterpiece of the recruitment of lighting designs from elementary school students in Sumida-ku in 2013 under the theme of "bright future," and I hear that it is a work that expresses the feeling of reconstruction, comparing Japan affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake to flowers, leaving seeds and blooming again with five colorful flowers as motifs.

On March 10, 73 years before the Tokyo Air Raid, the day before, it was illuminated with a strict white light with the thought of requiem for the victims.
