Kyoto is an international tourist city, which has its own lighting culture. The balance of "Yin and Yang", which in traditional Japanese philosophy indicates "brightness and shadow", is a specific character of Kyoto lighting. The World class international 5-star brand hotel, The Ritz-Carlton has been brought to Kyoto, a city that is combined by beauty, history and tradition. As a response to the sustainable beauties of Kyoto, we finally decided the lighting concept to be "the common light".
