The title means "Nakano Shin Nakamise (landscape)". This work is based on the theme of the legendary abandoned building "World Kaikan" in the sacred place of subculture. The World Kaikan, which faces the distant view, has been rumored to be dismantled, but it still exists today. Furthermore, a tower condominium is built in the distant view, and the chaotic night of Tokyo is cut out in combination with the old-fashioned izakaya in the near view.
サブカルチャーの聖地にある伝説の廃墟ビル「ワールド会館」が描かれています。遠景に臨むワールド会館は長く解体の噂がありますが、現在もまだ存続し、遠景のタワーマンション、近景の昔ながらの居酒屋と相まって混沌とした東京の夜を切り取っています。
