Product description ※Please note that product information is not in full comprehensive meaning because of the machine translation.

Japanese literature
A high school student "I" walks through a city full of security cameras with his best friend "Girlfriend" and cuts out the world by holding a small lens on his mobile phone, just as my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother have done in the past. A part of the world thus cut out is the story of a "family" who, at the mercy of the times, kept looking through the lens while still at the mercy of the times, and a grand pseudo-history of films and images used for war, conflict, and oppression, sometimes for education and entertainment, sometimes as weapons, and sometimes as weapons, in some cases for education and entertainment.
