In an area called Kugaeyama, where the Tamagawa Josui pass through, Tokyo government plans to build a big road on either side of the canal destroying many homes and the natural environment which has grown up there. An old lady called Yamaji Ieko opposes to build the road and goes to protest against this every day.
In response to her silent protest, I want to build up a linkage between Chiyoda, Kugaeyama and the source of the river. I make a battleship and invited the community group who are opposing the construction to write their message on the flag and bring it to the source of the river and launch on there.
