Auditorium Where Monsters Live
（雑記帳第112話） |
| Reading 11:49:23 |
The story of Kanematsu Auditorium
in the Kunitachi Campus of Hitotsubashi University.
It wsa built in Musashino Wilderness those days.
Goroji Suga, accompanied by Ryohei Tsubune
and Eriko Fukami, persues the mystery
behind the auditorium of his alma mater.
Why do many monsters flock in and out the auditorium?
Why did Dr. Chuta Ito, a famous architect,
take on its building and devote himself to make
numerous monsters inside by himself,
commuting all the way to the remote place
from Metropolitan Tokyo in those inconvenient days?
Why are the Four-God Statues decorated on the facade?
Some clue may be hidden in the auditorium itself. |
