Nakatsura stopped walking. He looked around them. As if to confirm something. Then he started walking again.
"Inside the exhibition building, apart from things related to photography, there were also other things. There was a stand selling books. Apparently, there was a book that caught Uda's attention. If I'm not mistaken, the book was a self-improvement book. Uda opened the book. Even though he was very interested, he didn't buy it because it cost two thousand."
"Two thousand for a self-development book is very cheap," said Mano.
"Yes. But for Uda, the price of two thousand was considered overpriced."
Mano shook her head. She was amused to hear that.
"Then Uda left the stand. Apparently, he continued to look at the photos by the novice photographers on display there. Uda's friends saw Uda stood frozen for a very long time when he noticed a photo that a photographer had displayed there. The photo showed a young man sitting pensively on the edge of a circular pond. He sat in a circle in the middle of which grew an enormous tree."
"Sitting Pensively in front of the Round Pool!"
Gonda mentioned the title of a very famous photo. The photo was Tsukamoto's work, early in her career. The composition of the image was extraordinary. Tsukamoto won a photography competition when she submitted the picture. Even then, there was an author that was inspired after seeing the photo. He wrote a novel about a young man who every day sat pensively thinking about his fate. The author asked Tsukamoto's permission to use the same title. Of course, there's no copyright for the title, but since it's clear that the author got his inspiration after seeing Tsukamoto's photo, the request for permission made sense. It didn't end there. Because the novel was selling well, a film producer brought the book to the big screen. A handsome young actor with a stupid face, Ajimura Isamu, starred in the film. The success of the novel and film also impacted Tsukamoto's career. She then skyrocketed to become a very famous photographer.
"For some reason, after seeing the photo, Uda looked pensive. He then returned to book stand. The photo had inspired him that a sacrifice to achieve his goals was an absolute must. But it turned out that there was only one book and someone had just bought it. Uda, who was disappointed, then walked out of the building. He sat at a roundabout that happened to be there. As he sat pensively, he looked to his right. It turned out that there was a book that really caught his attention. It was the book he had wanted to buy at the stand. Without thinking, Uda immediately took the book. After a few minutes of sitting reading a book in that place, he then got up and prepared to leave."
"Uda's friends report was very detailed, wasn't it?" Mano commented while chuckling in admiration. Uda's friends were very patient in following him.
