新宿の目 / The eye of Shinjuku

東京に住んで5年半、未だに分からないのが新宿駅周辺です。特にいつ行っても迷うのが西口。今日は初めて「新宿の目」の前を通りました。
「新宿の目」は1969年に宮下芳子によって制作された壁面彫刻(?)というかオブジェ。目の中が動くんですね。

I have been living in Tokyo for more than five years and yet, I don't understand Shinjuku area. I always get lost specially around West exit area - it is impossible for me to understand how to get places. But I happened to walk pass the "The Eye of Shinjuku" today.
"The Eye of Shinjuku" is created by Yoshiko Miyashita in 1969. Surprisingly, this eye ball moves and changes its color.
