An old theater house beautifully restored in Toyooka, Hyogo. Large panels placed on both sides of the theater hall are advertisements years ago. The word TEL and following telephone numbers show, that back in those days you only had three digits to distinguish local phone numbers. The same city now uses six digits for their local numbers.

A number of digits required in a phone number naturally implies complexity (different operators, systems), phone penetration, and the number of people with phone access. In this context, it was more the time and history I felt while I strolled around the beautifully kitsch posters of the hall.
