Behind the window that is seven meters tall and seven meters wide, objects with "ribbons," which is Mikimoto's design concept for 2018, and pearls, a motif for ornaments, are hung to form a Christmas tree. The tree is constructed from about 150 objects made from gold, silver, and red ribbons. Some of them are made to randomly and repeatedly stretch out and contract so that viewers can get a glimpse of its delicate and coordinated expression, as if sparkling snow crystals are appearing and disappearing, or the entire tree is breathing. Lights that slowly change on both sides further bring out its three-dimensionality.
