[Artist's comments]Excerpted
Placing the remains on roof tiles
I believe it was soldiers who were burning the bodies of people who died under the bridge. They wrote the gender, name and other information pertaining to each person on a roof tile then placed bones and ashes on it. This hated memory still appears in my dreams.
August 7, evening
1,640m / under the Kan-on Bridge at Funairi-machi
