Kirida District Towada city. Twilight

Sorry for poor english...

Twilight AM 4:30. Sun just rising...
Here is rice field in my home city Towada. Main industry of my city is agriculture.
Recentry, the city constructed a alternative space for the contemporary arts.
It's called "Art Center Towada".
It seems no relative on latest context of the art. It was built for people of sightseeing or commerce business. You can see this Art center is managed by commerce,industry and employee division of the city. This is annoying things.
...Invest money for it was given from subsidy.

Huge amount of money come to my city from government and electric power complexes(incl Nuclear Power Plant Company) as subsidy fund. Almost of subsidies is settled restrictions for using money. It is only permited to use for events in the central city.

For, Artist can't create artwork at outside of central Towada city.
They can't know such circumstances and field.
In Japan, Almost Regional city depends on subsidy.

とわだの主要な産業は農業。
