"Assembly art" is an art that collects materials and waste materials such as paper, wood chips, and metal plates into works.

For this reason, Mr. Kurashina can collect materials that are likely to be used as materials for the work at antique markets () etc.

Kurashina's "work" that combines springs, motors, gears, metronomes, and mysterious machines is displayed in the gallery where the lighting is set dimly dimly dim.

Due to the scary name "Hitokari Udo", the presence of old brass, the sound of inorganic gears that carve over time, the combination of the rhythm of the metronome, etc., when you enter the venue, you will be taken to a completely different world It seemed to have been taken, and on the contrary, I felt good.

Is the white and black tiles of the pine pattern used in key points called "retro modern" or old and new?
