Awa Odori Clock

The figures on this clock tower represent Tokushima’s famous Awa Odori dance. The clock tower sits on top of the Kon’yamachi bus shelter in the downtown area, one of Tokushima’s busiest restaurant and entertainment districts. A local shopkeepers’ federation installed the clock in 1985 and then donated it to the city in 2001. Every two hours between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., the lifelike dancers come out and perform for around five minutes to a background of lively festival music. They are divided into two groups, male and female. The clock is still in good condition, having been carefully maintained over the years. However, the dancers are delicate mechanisms that require protection from the elements, so they may not appear in wet or windy weather.

阿波舞机关钟

在德岛最繁忙的餐饮娱乐街区绀屋町的公交车候车亭顶部,有一座机关钟。钟体上的人偶形象代表着德岛著名的阿波舞。1985年,当地商店街振兴组合联合会出资安装了这座机关钟,并于2001年将它捐赠给了德岛市。

从上午10点到晚上8点,机关钟每两个小时报时一次,届时有栩栩如生的舞者分男女两组出现,伴着热闹的节日音乐表演5分钟。晚上6点和8点的表演还会在候车亭顶部的透明通道里加入LED效果,阿波舞者的影子就会在七彩LED灯的照射下浮现。在多年来的精心保养之下,机关钟至今依然完好无损。鉴于钟内的舞者都是需要保护的精密机械装置,所以遇到大风或下雨天气,他们可能会“暂停演出”。

Fureai Bridge The Fureai Bridge features “Raccoon on Rainbow,” one of two prize-winning designs from the 2010 Tokushima LED Art Festival. Created by Tokushima native Taho Ritsuko, it takes the seven colors of the rainbow as its canvas. Taho was inspired by two local folk stories about tanukiraccoon dogs, animals that are believed to be signs of good luck. In her design, scenes from the two tales play out on the west face of the bridge, uniting in the middle with the central raccoon dog character. On the bridge’s east side, a priestess performs music and dances as she blesses the raccoon dog. The design also incorporates a number of different lighting patterns with cultural and seasonal motifs. These include well-known symbols of Tokushima, such as the Awa Odori (Awa dance), Mt. Bizan, and the traditional craft of indigo dyeing.

Ryogoku Bridge

The colors of the LED light installation featured on this bridge respond to changes in temperature, ambient noise levels, vibrations from traffic, and even the cosmic rays from outer space.

Entitled “Sora to Mizu” (Sky and Water), it was one of the two winning designs at the 2010 Tokushima LED Art Festival. Born in Tokyo, Takuro is considered a pioneer in the field of light art. He frequently draws on nature and science themes for his creations.

Shinmachi Bridge

This LED installation, by German artist Mischa Kuball, encourages passersby to think of the daily sounds along the river as background music. Entitled “Light Matrix: An Operetta in White LED Light,” it was the winning design of the 2013 Tokushima LED Art Festival. Kuball used only white lights, as white “embraces all colors” in the spectrum, and he looked to music and the river itself for inspiration. His lines of light move in gentle patterns, evocative of musical notes or the flow of the river below. A concert hall is also located nearby, offering another connection to the motif of music and sound.

新町桥

这座桥上的LED装置由德国艺术家米斯卡·库巴尔(Mischa Kuball,1959- )设计,名为《光的矩阵:白色LED奏响的轻歌剧》(Light Matrix: An Operetta in White LED Light),旨在引导路人将沿河的日常声响视为背景音乐,它是2013年德岛LED艺术节的获奖作品。库巴尔在这里只使用了白光,因为白色在光谱中“包含了所有颜色”。他从音乐和河流本身当中寻找灵感,作品中的白色光线轻柔地移动,令人联想到音符流转,或是桥下新町川的缓缓流动。附近还有一座音乐厅,为音乐和声音的主题提供了另一层关联。

Kasuga Bridge

A winning design from the 2016 Tokushima LED Art Festival lights up Kasuga Bridge. “Indigo Waterfall” is a collaborative work from five artists representing Spatial Practice, an architectural firm in Hong Kong. Their creation draws upon Tokushima’s long legacy as a key center of indigo production and dyeing. Fertile soil and plenty of river water provided ideal conditions for growing indigo plants, and the pigment prepared from them provided the rich blue that would become a symbol of the prefecture and the country. In the past, warehouses storing indigo pigment surrounded Kasuga Bridge. The design unites past and present, with indigo-blue LEDs cascading to meet the river below.
