The monument of 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics


撮影日付:30 Dec
撮影場所:Makomanai, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. (北海道札幌市真駒内)

The monument of 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics is outside the Makomanai Subway Station, one of the terminal stations of the South-North Line. The 1972 Games were the first Winter Olympics to be held in a city neither in Europe nor in the United States.
I took the photo on my way to the Takino Suzuran Park.It is a flower garden in summer, and a small ski resort in winter. And it is also my recommended place for all of you whom would like to enjoy cross-country skiing(歩くスキー) near downtown Sapporo.

香蕉小姐的「キッチン」、『哀しい予感』、『アムリタ』等小說,
透過共同生活的事實,
來創造超越血緣界線的擬似家族;
然而,在村上的『ダンス・ダンス・ダンス』(下)之中,
卻兼透過精神上的認知事實,
來創造更抽象的「拡大家族」,
村上的「拡大家族」究竟是家族的擴大,
或只是藉以嘲諷家族構造空虛化的表象呢?
