Symbolic #colors in #japan . During Shinto festivals, tables covered with red cloths and red carpets are used. Red is the color of festivals and festival zones are marked by curtains with red and white stripes. The symbolic meaning of red is peace and the prosperity. In Kabuki theater performances, red stripes on the actors’ faces means justice. #readyforosaka #expo #2025 #savinglives (à Geneva) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIaOcvr2_B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎌⏳🇯🇵 The pavilion for the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo will be designed to give visitors a feeling that they are under water. Under the concept of “reborn,” the pavilion’s main building will have two above-ground stories with a total floor space of 6,300 square meters. Wood and steel will be used for the structure’s roof frame, with transparent glass to allow natural light to shine through. The rooftop will also feature a hole for air circulation inside the pavilion, while water supplied to the upper covering will help to create an underwater-like atmosphere. #readyforosaka #flytojapanin2025 🎌⏳🇯🇵 (à Geneva) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIWTG9rmGY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
