Roppongi is a metropolis filled with many people in diverse genres who come and go through feelings of joy and sorrow. The countless business establishments and office buildings lining the city streets seem to symbolize this. The lights shining from the buildings and the brilliant signs embody the activities of everyday people, symbolizing the energy assembled in Roppongi. This work calls attention to the lights that govern Roppongi, recreating them in the form of a miniature house.
