A walking simulator for which the artist took 3D scans of memorable parks and streets in the Yanesen district (comprising Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi in Tokyo) and reconstructed them into a map. While the original purpose of a map is to represent spatial information accurately and objectively, here it is used to express reassembled fragments of personal memory.

In the game, objective descriptions of the area (its history and geography) intersect with subjective narratives (memories of the day visited), allowing the player to move back and forth between perceiving and sensing the city.
