Osaka City Central Public Hall Projection Mapping

The Osaka City Central Public Hall Projection Mapping is a December light show on the east front of Osaka City Central Public Hall, on the island of Nakanoshima in Osaka. The hall is a neo-Renaissance building and an Important Cultural Property. The show is the central program of OSAKA Hikari no Renaissance (OSAKA光のルネサンス), the light program on Nakanoshima that forms the core of the Osaka Hikari no Kyoen (大阪・光の饗宴) festival of lights.

The images are projected onto the east front of the hall, in a show of about ten minutes that repeats through the evening. It is produced by Hitohata for the festival's organizing committee, made up of Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, the Osaka Convention and Tourism Bureau and business groups.

The 2026 edition: Osaka, a Festive Night of Light

The 2026 show has the theme Osaka, Hikari no Shukuyasai (大阪、光の祝夜祭), Osaka, a festive night of light. It fills the front of the hall with glittering windows of light, a dreamlike world of falling snow and stars, and Santa Claus racing across the night sky.
