HASUNUMA SHUTA
BELLS
The sound of the bell ringing out the time of day from the Wako rooftop. The sound and reverberation of this bell is an everyday thing in Ginza 4-chome. It has seen the town change over a long period of time. And as the town keeps changing so do the people who come and go in Ginza 4-chome. Everyday things become vague and the different time lines of the people appear before one’s eyes from the music created through the “sound” of the bell reverberating through the town.
