The present invention enables a desired projection pattern on a surface to be illuminated such as a road surface, a ground surface, a floor surface, a surface below water, and a wall surface, and enables a projection position and/or a projection orientation of the projection pattern to be changed. A laser beam from a light emission unit (111) is shaped into a parallel light through an optical shaping system (112), and an incident surface (P2) of a diffraction optical element (120) recording a hologram image is irradiated with the parallel light. A projection pattern (E) of an arrow oriented in a predetermined direction (D) is projected as a hologram reconstructed image on a surface to be illuminated (U) on a road surface. An optical-element drive unit (130) rotates the diffraction optical element (120) about a rotation axis (Rx) in a rotation plane (P1) orthogonal to an optical axis (C) of a parallel incident light (L). By means of the rotation, a geometric positional relationship of the diffraction optical element (120) with respect to the surface to be illuminated (U) is changed, whereby an orientation (D) of the arrow projection pattern (E) on the road surface can be changed.
