He is active in diverse areas and in his hometown of Takikawa, Hokkaido, the “Paper Bag Lan- tern Festival,” which was his brainchild, takes place every February (this year marks its 11th anniversary). Mr. Igarashi’s desire for the paper bag lantern artworks to fulfill the role of bringing people togeth- er, “to engage with art in everyday life,” and “to create a town which attracts visitors through art” is being realized.

  • Gstaad, Switzerland
    GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND Consider living in a vast alpine garden in summer or a glistening fairytale of white wonder in the winter. Gstaad is all that – once described by Sound of Music star Julie Andrews as “the last paradise in a crazy world.” Such sounds still ring true as old wealth given to such romantic notions as horse-drawn carriages clopping down cobbled streets as visitors pass in their furs and finery mix with a more grounded populace of happy-go-lucky youth in ski gear and affordable fashions. They say Gstaad has about 3,000 residents and just as many cows. There are endless alpine walking paths along wildflower vistas that bring Heidi to mind. In winter ski mountains buzz with some 60 ski lifts and cable cars ferry visitors into magnificent heights. Gstaad, in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, is well known to celebrities and royalty as a protected playground. For decades it was the place to go for well-disguised paparazzi as it was known as a gathering spot for such icons as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Roman Polanski, Formula1 star Bernie Ecclestone, fashion designer Valentino, Madonna, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek and a cavalcade of Bollywood faves. But the locals maintain, "People go to St. Moritz to be seen, and to Gstaad to enjoy themselves." Location of Gstaad On a map, you will find Gstaad in the southwest region of Switzerland, a two- to three- hour drive from Geneva or Zurich on the boundary between the Bernese Oberland and the Vaud Alpes. Gstaad is a walking village, car-free in its charm and crowded with precious weathered-wood chalets.

    Media Release, 23 June 2015 Swiss Deluxe Hotels has two new members: The Alpina Gstaad and The Chedi Andermatt were unanimously elected at the General Meeting in Zermatt. As of yesterday, the Swiss Deluxe Hotels are now 41 in number - the association of Switzerland's most exclusive luxury hotels admitted two new member hotels at its General Meeting on Monday, 22 June 2015. The Alpina Gstaad and The Chedi in Andermatt were unanimously elected new Swiss Deluxe Hotels by the 39 existing members. Swiss Deluxe Hotels is the association of the most exclusive and luxurious 5-star hotels in Switzerland. The Alpina Gstaad and The Chedi in Andermatt, both established in recent years, met the rigorous criteria for admission to Swiss Deluxe Hotels with flying colours. A Swiss Deluxe Hotel has to meet more than 850 quality standards, both on admission and at the annual tests. What is more, a hotel has to have been run successfully for at least one year after opening. The Alpina Gstaad In many ways, The Alpina Gstaad sets a new benchmark in the luxury hotel trade in Switzerland. With its perfect location and excellent service, The Alpina Gstaad makes an enormously positive contribution to the Swiss hotel industry. "We're very pleased that The Alpina Gstaad will now be able to share the quality label and prestige of Swiss Deluxe Hotels," says Eric Favre, Managing Director, The Alpina Gstaad. The Alpina Gstaad has 56 rooms and suites and indulges its guests with facilities that include three restaurants. Jan E.
