note:

I had a show at the museum located at Ebisu, which used to be a beer factory. The beer called YEBISU it is made now by the Sapporo Beer company. so that i went to the beer factory to document of the process of how a bottle of beer is made. when i was considering this project, i got a CD from my friends band by chance. And they sing a song for bowling game anyhow. i found the beer bottle looks like pin of the bowling game. i know the museum carpenter keep a lot of leftover from the previous show. i asked them to build up bowling lane and garden table from that.
