OSAKA — A lighting test was conducted at one of the signature pavilions for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo on the Yumeshima reclaimed island in Osaka Bay on Thursday evening.
The pavilion — Playground of Life: Jellyfish Pavilion — has a white membrane roof about 35 meters in diameter. Musician Sachiko Nakajima is the producer for the pavilion.
At about 6:30 p.m., the roof was lit with computer-controlled illuminations in various colors, such as red, blue and purple, which shone brightly and made it look as if a rainbow of jellyfish were floating in the darkness.
During the Expo period, the illumination may change when a visitor touches a musical instrument inside the pavilion.
“Through this pavilion, I’d like to express the pulse of life,” Nakajima said.
