Aki Hayakawa | Your Interviews

Your Interviews | Women in Lighting: When I was a child, I lived in Germany for three years because of my father’s job. I saw the beautiful illuminations of the churches and the buildings in the historical city, whereas, in those days, architectural lightings were not seen that much in Japan. I think that’s when I became interested in light for the first time. The Churches were silent in the daytime, but they looked different and lively in the nighttime, I felt. I remembered I looked back at those lights again and again on my way home.
