Rainy view of twin towers
In *The Garden of Words*, shortly after the film begins, the protagonist Takao Akizuki stands on an elevated platform, gazing at a cityscape shrouded in rain. Centered in the frame is a grand building with a symmetrical twin-tower structure, surrounded by dense high-rises. The overcast sky and slanting raindrops create a lonely yet beautiful atmosphere.
