In my belly, something is living. What should I do?
What should she/he have done to be happy?
we, do, a lot, for the wealth, for a few. ？
I have no money. I just lost my job. And yet, something is living in my belly. It's warm to the touch. Where is he, who made it with me, now? Would he come to me?
It's sweet, and strangles me. Why am I alone, holding this? Who caused it? Anybody tell me, answer me. Now, everything is complicated for me.
I don’t want to be lectured anymore. I don’t want any pain. Yet, here, I’m still alive.
Something is living in my belly. We want to think about this story with you. What happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future?
May you be in a safe, secure, warm place.
Once you pass its borders, you can ne'er return again.

(Koganeya Coin Shower is a women-first store with a laundromat and coin-operated showers.)

About this work
This work took shape after the members of Doukyusei. were blessed with an "opportunity".
Doukyusei. is a group of people living in various places and situations who come together to think and create.
Members of Doukyusei. share the same interests, problems, and concerns. The place is maintained through exchanging and sharing of their own “privileges,” their own “opportunities,” or “knowledge,” and "experiences" and working together. The process of creating this work was realized through this very exchange.
We hope that this work, created by our encounters beyond the lines and boundaries that are drawn in our usual lives without our knowledge, reach those who are closer or further away, living their life thinking “There is nothing I can do about it. I have no words.“ (Especially our young and easily exploited friends.)

Doukyusei.
Girl’s secrets. From her eyes, through her brain, to her fingers and mouth. The shape of “words” that overflowing from her body. She is, now, a voice. We create works with the aim of creating “tangible” representations of the lives and histories of women of various ages and living in various places. We are open to any form of expression, as long as the project is centered on women, and people who are interested in each project and Doukyusei. and come together will participate in the production of the work. We aim to function as a "place" where people interested in expression can gather, regardless of their creative experience.
