The Camera Obscura was invented by Dr. Kunihiko Aso in order to capture things that only exist in the spiritual realm.

Residual thoughts and memories from the past...

Spiritual beings that cannot ordinarily be seen...

All are revealed with the Camera Obscura.

The Camera Obscura has been known to have an exorcising effect on the things it captures - 'that which should not exist'. And yet, it also has some kind of connection with them.

Misuse of the Camera can easily lead to one losing their soul to these spiritual beings.

I have brought the Camera to Minakami Village to photograph its 'hidden ceremony', and the place where its participants gather to perform it.

I do believe I am more excited than Dr. Aso himself about what may be revealed...

射影機に関する覚書


射影機とは、目に見えない霊的な存在をとら
えるために、麻生博士により作られた写真機
である。

一、残留思念などによる過去の出来事。

一、見えない霊魂的存在。

などを写し出すことができる。


この射影機は、それら「ありえないもの」を
写し撮ることで、除霊にも似た効果を得るこ
とができる。しかし、それは同時に彼らとの
関わりをもつということでもある。

不用意に使用すれば、彼らに取りこまれるこ
とすらあるだろう。


この射影機で、村で行われている「秘祭」
と、その信仰の中心となる場所を撮影でき
れば何が写りこむのか。

麻生博士ならずとも、興味をひかれる。
