Having been surrounded by mountains since I was a child, at some point I began to wish that there were mountains in the Tokyo landscape.
While I was thinking about how to make mountains appear in Tokyo,
I remembered that there used to be a mountain called Mt. Kanda around Ochanomizu Station.
Mt. Kanda was excavated in the Edo period in order to reclaim the Hibiya inlet.
So, in the summer of 2021, I will attempt to make Mt. Kanda, which disappeared in the Edo period, reappear through the use of AR.
