Overview
Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street is said to be the longest shopping street in Japan. This time, the stage is a bench in a corner of the shopping street. Listening to the stories of visitors over the course of three days on this bench, where people are constantly sitting, a variety of human dramas emerge. Some are anxiously waiting to meet someone, others use the bench as a place of work, and still others observe people on the street. Everyone takes a break on this bench, laughs, and then gets up to walk again. Seventy-two hours on this mysterious bench where people rest their wings.
