Invited to make a sculpture.
Arrival in Japan.
Bus to Tsukuba Art Center.
Discover the site.
A joyful entertainment park.
Camping, children, and barbecue.
Walk around.
Drink some local coffee, fake coffee.
Look around while drinking.
Drift, ignoring what the future sculpture will be.
Discover the surroundings.

Notice the triple loudspeaker in front of the coffee machine.

Looks like a sailing boat mast.
Decide to remake the triple loudspeaker.
Do as local people do.
Copy local things.
Cut bamboos in the forest.
Buy rubber bands at the supermarket.
Bamboo and rubber.
The first copy of the triple loudspeaker is now erected. Ten meters high.
Like it.
Drink more fake coffee.

Repeat the process.
Make a second copy.
Now we have 3 triple loudspeakers.

The new bamboo loudspeakers are more silent than the model.
Except while wind is blowing.
