Description

Small glass jar with a blue plastic lid. On the jar is a paper label in black and white depicting, in the lower-right corner, a cartoon image of a man, head tilted back, holding some sort of object above him, pouring liquid into his mouth with a crazed look on his face. In the upper-left corner, printed diagonally, is “WATER MUSIC BY CHIEKO SHIOMI 1. GIVE THE WATER STILL FORM 2. LET THE WATER LOSE ITS STILL FORM. – FLUXWATER –” The font decreases in size with each successive line. On the bottom of the jar is stamped 2158 (with the “1” inside of a circle). The jar is empty.
