This body of work was made in response to Alfred’s month long trip to Japan to research a project for Japan Railways to create animations in relation to the Niigata area for the Genbi Shinkansen, a high-speed railway service. The paintings are all small works on canvas of views that Alfred found during his travels. The title of the show references Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s celebrated book of 1933
