Belgian and Japanese volunteers, who gathered in the square in the early morning, completed the carpet with approximately 500,000 flowers around 2:00 PM local time.
This year, on the occasion of the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Belgium and Japan, the carpet, prepared with the theme of "Japan," depicted the world-famous work "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the country's renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai.
