Abstract

The tree-shaped decoration apparatus of this Invention is provided with a strut vertically arranged on base substrate; a plurality of floor member; and a translucent member. A plurality of floor member is placed in a multistage along the strut, in such a manner that the entire outline is nearly cone-shaped. Furthermore, an inlet part to the floor member is provided to each floor member. And at least a part of the exterior surface of the tree-shaped decoration apparatus is formed of a translucent member.
