TOKYO -- A model of a rickety house plastered in faded posters, photographs, magazine clippings and various images stands resolutely in the middle of a huge room. A random assortment of disused objects is jumbled on the roof: a loudspeaker, a bucket, various nets, a red canoe. A neon sign emblazoned "Mon Cheri," suggesting the name of a small snack bar in a provincial town, hangs above the side of the house.
