"The existing historical landscape, the atmosphere of the lush green city park remains as it is, and the island itself is reborn as a cultural complex-a concept that has not been asked by anyone, it was an endless proposition.
More than a real work, I drew two drawings with all my might, “Because of Yume Yume”. "
