It was 13th in the evening of Friday, I picked up 2 projectors that I had left at a bar in Namba, Osaka and I took a taxi to Edobori, Osaka. This evening, I was going to install Akira Hasegawa's D-K art in ELIXIR bar where several DJs would perform for the Friday evening.

It had been raining on Friday in Osaka city. Seasons of plum-blossoms has been ended and the cherry-blossom would be ready to please people in Osaka in few weeks.

When I had arrived at the bar, DJs had already arrived and I talked to the producer of this party here. He is known as an artist of live painting. His name is Bosshiko (http://bosshiko.blog83.fc2.com/) and he had planned and organized the evenings DJ party at ELIXIR bar. And a famous DJ,a.kawase（amoed'z factory productions）also attended and I took a glass of beer with them.

The owner of this bar, Kaori-san had advised me to projection lights toward the wall with 'Noh-men" paintings from the lofted space at the other side of the wall at the bar. I installed one projector toward the wall with paintings and the other to the balcon where DJs would play discs.

It was really amazing for me that the 'Noh-men' paintings appearances had been gradually changed as D-K lights moved on them. There were two faces of 'Noh-men' masque paintings were hanged on the wall. The one is masculin face of 'Oni' for evil spirits and the other is feminin face, a typical woman masque viewed in the Noh theatre. The two 'Noh-men' masque paintings appeared and dissapeared as D-K lights transit. Sometimes one face had been seen different from the original painting and deformed its shape and colours as D-K lights passed on the painting.
