Thinking About This Photograph

 This photo was taken on May 1993 on the sidewalk in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 I took a picture of a watch shop that sells watches using a microphone, which seems to be no longer in Ginza.

 The photo looks like a female clerk singing a song.

 About 30 years ago, at that time, quartz watches began to be sold cheaply, and I heard that it was because the watch company Seiko distributed the movement to other companies in the same industry at a low price.

 Riding the bargain wave, this watch shop must have been a great success at that time.

 I don’t see any watch stores anymore.

 Only 30 years have passed, but the times have changed dramatically.
