The chandelier was selected as a motif that can embody the image of Ginza such as tradition, beauty, dreams, and longing, which is suitable for the liveliness and style of the city of Ginza. In addition, we named it "Ginza Chandelier" because we want it to be recognized as a part of the city by coloring the scenery of the city and becoming a symbol of high publicity that has been loved for a long time.
