As for chandeliers, when I read a co-author by Taro Igarashi and Yuko Sugano, "Tuck the decoration," at hand, "The box-shaped lighting that Togo Murano worked on during the extension and renovation is hanging. If you observe the decoration in detail, the center is the motif of the Yaba lotus flower, and the surrounding area is surrounded by geometric lightning crests and curves.
