A giant purple structure believed to be the world's first inflatable concert hall is to open on Japan's disaster-hit northeastern coast, promoters said on Wednesday.
British sculptor Anish Kapoor and Japanese architect Arata Isozaki created the unusual Ark Nova, a baloon made up of a coated polyester material which has been erected at a park in the town of Matsushima.

The structure, which organisers say is a world's first, measures about 18 metres high (60 feet) and 35 metres wide when fully inflated with room for about 500 guests.
It can be easily deflated and travel around the region to host events that "help bring people together," a press statement said.
