Program note:
There is no more turning back once you accidentally stood under the red paper lantern outside of an izakaya (Japanese bar-restaurant). The Beckoning Cat is watching you intensely, but all life boundaries and identities start to melt away and flow out of the bottle. Waves of different situations and memories drift away around the corner. Where is the sea?
