Tokyo Tower was lit up in green on Saturday night to celebrate St Patrick's Day. The green illumination of the 333-meter-tall television tower was also to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the bilateral ties between Japan and Ireland.
Irish Network Japan, a non-governmental organization aimed at promoting cultural exchange between Ireland and Japan, organized a photography contest of the green-lit Tokyo Tower for amateur photographers, it said on its website. Eight parades will be held in Tokyo and other cities across Japan this weekend.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus
