October 20 – Lampu created a drawing on the ground as part of the Hakata Riverain Lantern Festival (Hakata Riverain Festa Plaza), inspired by Thai Krathong lanterns. She and a team of volunteer staff then brought the image to life by placing thousands of lanterns over her drawing, while fireworks lit up the moonlit night and bright lanterns floated down the nearby river.
