[Synopsis] The videomaker Oki Masaharu starts to play the part of Oki Masaharu. He speaks out to the camera. He takes up a weapon and goes into action. He poses as a wandering minstrel. What was it again that he wanted to convey . . . ? Instead of stopping and tapping the sand out of his shoe, can he go on running, as if confirming his sense of discomfort?
