A happy New Year!

The first International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) Directors' meeting in Asia was held in Tokyo last November. Through pecha-kucha presentation, exchange meeting and travel to Kyoto and Nara with IALD overseas members, I could be able to deepen friendship with members who active in the world.

Lighting experiments In a terrible hot summer, illumination angle adjustment in a cold snowy evening and a field survey with more than 40,000 steps a day. It was a year of appreciation for myself and my own physical strength. . . Next year I will be more agile a supple night wildcat! （Vice President : Hisae Nozawa )

Sometimes as a hotel guest, sometimes as a technical trainers, kindergarten students, residents of tower apartments, sports people and etc ... It is difficult but interesting days to think about the lighting instead of these people. (Chief Designer: Sachi Takanaga)
