Hiruko (later, Ebisu) was the very first god which made an appearance in Japanese myths, but faded over time. After a long time, however, the myth revived and Hiruko was worshipped by people as the god of Ebisu in various legends. Taniguchi, interested in this myth, challenged himself to visualize the lucky god of Ebisu.

There are many drifting objects on the beachfront. Seashells, stones, driftwood and glass bottles. Something with a sense of life or mysterious shape. I wonder what story they followed until they got to that beach. I do not know what has happened to these things in the past, but for me they are valuable just as they are. My heart is excited by the nostalgic feeling like keeping track of memories and by a new form.
