n Praise of Shadows," "the right light in the right place," "multiple lights in dispersion"... these are terms that always appear when studying lighting design. Yet, lighting design is still a field that remains unfamiliar to both the general public and even within the industry.

As Jun’ichirō Tanizaki writes in his essay In Praise of Shadows, it is not the fully visible world but rather the unseen parts that stir human imagination and make what is visible appear even more captivating.

As Audrey Hepburn once said, 'The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—that’s all that matters.' In the same way, when it comes to our homes, what truly matters is not the convenience, functionality, or appearance—the 'material richness'—but rather the 'richness of the heart.

A home reflects the life and character of its residents. As Dutch designer Marcel Wanders once said, 'The things around a person shape who they are.' In this sense, a home can influence a person even more than clothing does.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, architecture, furniture, and interior design have been actively featured across various media, and interest in the home has been growing. In the new drama Katori Towako and Her Three Ex-Husbands, which began airing last Tuesday, the use of lighting in different scenes stood out as something quite distinct from what we’ve seen before.

"The home of 'Hachisaku Tanaka,' played by Ryūhei Matsuda, is a room surrounded by wood veneer and deep blue wallpaper, reminiscent of mid-century design. The lighting includes pieces such as the Louis Poulsen PH 80 floor lamp and a bedside table lamp. Instead of a glaring light from the ceiling, the space recreates precisely what it means to live with 'comfortable lighting.

For those who have been involved in building a home, you’ve probably been asked about lighting color during the planning meetings. In many newly built homes today, it is common to see proposals such as warm white for the living, dining, and bedroom areas, and soft white (or incandescent-like) lighting for hallways, bathrooms, and toilets.

Interiors overseas are all unique and attractive. You can sense the residents’ personal tastes and sensibilities, and, much like fashion, they offer a glimpse into their character.

It is under faint light that one can truly feel 'wabi-sabi,' the traditional Japanese aesthetic. This essay by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki, serialized in 1933 in the magazine Keizai Ōrai, calmly weaves scenes with light and shadow.

「インテリアの中で何が1番大切か」と聞かれたら、私は迷わず”灯り”だと答えます。素敵なカフェやレストラン、ホテルなどを訪れた際、もしそこが蛍光灯に照らされた明るい空間だったらどうでしょう？

世の中には沢山のデザイナーさん達がいらっしゃいます。グラフィックデザイナー、プロダクトデザイナー、建築デザイナー、ファッションデザイナーなどなど... しかし、世の中に溢れる多くは表面的なデザインに過ぎず、何のためのデザインなのかその意味を見失っているような気がします。

「建築から数十年経ても資産価値を保っているマンション」、いわゆる「ヴィンテージ・マンション」がいま一部で注目されています。

私は古くなったものを壊して新しいものへ交換するようなリフォームやリノベーションではなく、古くても良い部分（味がある部分）を出来るだけ残しつつ、その時のライフスタイルや好みに合わなくなった部分だけを遣り替えるような年数相応のリフォームやリノベーションをオススメします。
