When asked, “what else is there on the dining table besides tableware?” You probably wouldn’t be able to think of many things. It is pleasing to look at a dinning tale when there is only a selected thing like un nished book. In other words, a thing on a dinning table has a more importance than we think. We could say that the surface of a dining table is a eld of “the selected items”. On the other hand, Shibuya’s Hachi always attracts many people. Without having to bark for an attention. Students at school listen to their teacher while gazing at a black board. When they take a group picture, there is always a teacher or a student leader in the center of it. When a certain number of people gather in one place, there is always the concept of “the center.” People plan their actions around it and get together at “the center.” Paris has “The Arc de Triomphe,” Tokyo has “The Imperial Castle,” and other cities also have such centers. People can feel more secure having “the center” and rely on it even when they are living in a chaotic and vague situation. What is placed in the center of life clearly re ects the person's life. What is your center?
