Further information:
"Mito was one of the places where the earthquake, called the Great East Japanese Earthquake, hit on March 11 in 2011... The crystalline landscape of a tear con be explored under a microscope once it's dried. No two tears are the same; all are as unique as the lives of the people who cry them. In this installation, viewers examined the tears of others, and were lead to consider the emotional state and circumstance of the tear's owner, a trip into a miniature world, seen through a lens while seated in a gallery." (from the catalogue essay, 'Namida as a portrait' by curator, Sayako Kadowaki)
