On the other hand, powerfully expressive store displays were seen throughout the district. <\/p>\n<p>Ginza Sony Park provided a new open plaza for people to pass through or congregate on the corner of Harumi Dori and Sotobori Dori. Ginza Six presented displays where AR (augmented reality) technologies can be enjoyed. <br \/>\nValentino Ginza created an out-of-the-ordinary visitor space reminiscent of a small museum of fashion and art. Motifs showing the playful heart \u2014 live performances, games, dolls, robot toys, parties, animals, and such \u2014 were seen at many of the brand stores and larger shops, directly communicating the sense of fun. <br \/>\nYamaha constructed a tree out of the wood pieces leftover from the process of manufacturing their pianos. As Ginza Eikokuya showed their Britishness, each store was demonstrating the unique nature of its origins. And then there was Ginza Kanematsu, capturing the essence of store display. <br \/>\nDisplays with dynamic presentations and stories were seen everywhere, generating buzz throughout the city. And it didn&#8217;t stop there. It spread in other ways, such as new designs in the illuminations on Hanatsubaki Dori, and the 6-chome area reactivation activities pursued on Namiki Dori. <\/p>\n<p>The city was illuminated everywhere by the variety of visitor spaces of high-quality design, brimming with the pleasure of the theatrical, inducing visitors to wander throughout Ginza. <br \/>\nVisitors posted pictures of the displays they found interesting or attractive via SNS, widening the influence of the contest and bringing in more crowds. <br \/>\nAlthough this is the era in which a city&#8217;s ability to express itself is augmented by new technology, the magic of Ginza is its omotenashi, its ability to welcome and engage visitors by established stores, inherited unchanged from the past. <br \/>\nEven as times change, we have confidence that Ginza will retain its own style, including the ability to design visitor spaces.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"btnShare mab20\" search-data=\"\">Share Link<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The winners of this year\u2019s Ginza Display Contest have been announced.
