The development of electronic technologies has brought about great
convenience and an IT revolution. Indeed we have made progress
economically and materially. However, I wonder whether the
development has enabled us to achieve spiritual happiness. A large
number of people come to big cities with every convenience close
at hand and go here and there in haste to work for the economy. It
seems that pedestrian scrambles were born so as to enable people
to reach their destination as fast as they possibly can. However, the
configuration of the pedestrian scramble looks shriveled and ugly
to me. In order to make people realize this, I want to put a circular
waterdrop with spiritual connotations on a pedestrian scramble
toreveal the distortion. where are we headed?
