On the inaugural Tokyo Hotaru festival that was held last weekend, 100,000 LED lights floated down the Sumida River through central Tokyo. The LEDs were provided by Panasonic that dubbed “prayer stars”. After illuminating a large stretch of the river, which also hosts a popular fireworks festival in the summer, the LEDs were all caught in a large net. (photos by jeremy v, makure, and ajpscs)
