A white-silhouetted window is framed on a temporary house, and on this window are seen suburban landscapes of Toride, slides being projected after sunset. Usually we can see the same scenery from a window of our house. From this window, however, we can enjoy changing scenery as different slides are projected, as if we were on a train of JR advertising "traing." Those slides represent approximately 100 landscapes of Toride, which look so common that people seldom appreciate. This series of everyday scenes has been restructured and represented by Homma. (There is a secret extra piece co-worked with Katsuhiko Hibino.)
