Built in 1961, Nara Dreamland was supposed to be the “disney” theme park of the country, which is easy to guess when you take a look on the fairy pink princess castle ! It was a huge success and many japanese went there during their free time for many years. It was an incredible feeling to be able to explore this place during an entire day and imagine how it was to be on the roller coaster or just to wander in the little streets of this paradise. But the opening of the real Disneyworld in Tokyo and the Universal studios in Osaka was too much competition for Nara Dreamland. By 2006, the theme park closed and became another dream for explorers and photographers as one of the most famous haikyo in Japan! Now, nature reclaims the park, which disappears slowly under the vegetation and create an even more magical and unique atmosphere.
Trying to imagine the answer has fascinated people since the dawn of time. What is interesting is that our answers vary in the same time that our society changes and evolves. Regarding the many challenges we are facing today (pandemic, deforestation, pollution, global warming, armed conflicts), "Luxuria" remind us as a memento mori what could be our world tomorrow...
