Y150
28 04 2009
The year 2009 marks the 150th anniversary of the 1859 opening of the Port of Yokohama. To commemorate this anniversary, the city of Yokohama is sponsoring “EXPO Y150”, a grand exposition focusing on the history and attractions of the city, based on the theme “Set Sail”.
Y150 kicks off today in Yokohama (website link in English). What’s interesting was the performance group La Machine. For weeks I have been seeing these 2 ‘creatures’ docked at the harbour. Click on the photos to enlarge them.
Watch the video below to see what it was all about. Looks like a slow motion version of ‘War of the Worlds’ set to music.
