パイプオルガン築地本願寺には仏教寺院としては大変珍しくパイプオルガンが設置されています。
このパイプオルガンは旧西ドイツのワルカー社製で、約1年をかけて製作されました。
長いものでは約3メートル、短いものでは約1センチほどのものまで、大小約2,000本のパイプ(笛)で構成され、このパイプを伝い演奏者が奏でる「風」が、繊細で荘厳な音色を織りなします。

Today, everyone’s a photographer, grabbing their iPhones for a quick snap. Pictures are posted at a moment’s notice on Facebook and Instagram, so there’s never a void of visuals. Perhaps this image saturation is why surreal photo manipulation is particularly intriguing; smartphone cameras and social networking can’t hold a candle to an artist’s vivid imagination.
