'The Grass Blade is one of a set of fourteen sociological folk tales set around a future Tokyo railway station. Influenced by the Aum Shinrikyo sarin attack, the burst bubble of Japan and the nascent rise of mobile technology in the mid 90s it unsettles and haunts with layers of meaning interpenetrating like bands of neon and mist in a bad dream.'
