PREFACE
For almost one year, I was writing some fictions rather than visual works
except some drawings. I did not creat very great visual works in this term.
So, I decided to exhibit this writing project. But, if you read this story,
you might find some relations with visual arts. Especally, contemporary
art and cinema, movie.
At this time, I wrote this story in Japanese first. And then, I translated
it into English. It is more easy for me to write in my first language. But,
I am always thinking, if I creat something, I want to show it to not only
Japanese but also people in any country. I do not think that English is
only international language. But, compared to Japanese, English is more
international. And, I can not write any other languages.
It's just a pratical reason. And, it is also for my English writing practice.
So, please ensure my poor English writing. If you seek pefect English, please
do not read this story. I think, if someone who is a native English writer
check this story, it is much better. But, now, there is any person who can
do it around me.
Originally, this work is a long story. I am not planning to show everything
on this site. Because, I created this work to publish in Japan, although
I have no connections in publishing industry right now. And, this is too
long to translate by myself.
Anyway, I will upload one more chapter, Musashino during this summer, which
could be read like a short story.
And also, I plan to upload an essay around this work during next a few week.
Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy this work.
