Ruins of Roppongi

1992 · 55m

An experimental film about the abandoned mansion that once stood in Roppongi. The mansion was originally built as the private residence of the businessman named “Ryoji Oda” [小田良治], but after his death, it was used as the Philippine Embassy. In this film, Sekine focuses his camera on the rotting furniture and a mummified cat, and uses 16mm found footage (the content of which is a documentary of traditional Philippine culture) discovered in the basement.
