Inspired by Bob Shaw's science fiction, Hatakeyama extracted from them an invention that slows down the speed of light: "Slow Glass." He says that "looking through a piece of glass is like seeing a scene from the past." The book is divided into two parts: the first is a collection of prints full of landscapes blurred by raindrops running down the windows of houses. The second part focuses on these famous houses and the landscapes still under construction that surround them.
