The project aimed to enhance bilateral relationships, stimulate creativity and encourage exchanges between Hong Kong and Japan. Under the project, designers and students from Hong Kong and Japan designed their own art piece based on a "Tian Tian Xiang Shang" statue created by Hong Kong artist Danny Yung. In addition to displaying a 5-metre-tall statue, the exhibition also featured 65 half-metre-tall statues improvised by Hong Kong designers and 100 12-centimetre-tall statues made by Hong Kong students, along with another 63 half-metre-tall statues improvised by Japanese designers and 125 12cm-tall statues designed by Japanese students.
