1977, 9’52”, color, silent

After World War II, I was sketching the transfiguration of my birth place around the Ooimachi Shinagawa area, especially with focus on the temple, the old storehouse, the crowd in front the Ooi Railway Station, and the Ooi Quay which had caught my eyes as a child. I visualized the transfiguration of these places by video in 1977.
