"Saigo in Ueno to be Illuminated" printed in The Tokyo Shimbun

The statue of Takamori Saigo, the very famous leader during Meiji Restoration, was made by Koun Takamura in 1898.
Although it is one of the most famous landmarks in Ueno, it is now lit only by a nearby street light.
The lighting image of a model made by Reiko Chikada Lighting Design Inc. appeared in the paper.
The statue is planned to be illuminated by lighting fixtures placed on the roof terrace of "The Ueno Park Saigo Hall (Construction: Uenohirokouji Retailers Union, Architects: MHS Planners, Architects & Engineers.)"
The illumination will be completed at the end of August, 2012.
