The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

『しろばんば』は、井上靖の自伝的長編小説である。『主婦の友』に1960年（昭和35年）から連載された。その後、続編として『続しろばんば』が連載された。双方とも中央公論社から単行本として刊行され、後に前者を前編、後者を後編とし、改めて『しろばんば』として新潮社より文庫本として刊行されている。『夏草冬濤』『北の海』へ続く自伝小説、私小説3部作の1作目にあたる。 題名の「しろばんば」とは雪虫のこと。本作品の舞台であり、作者自身が幼少時代を過ごした静岡県の伊豆半島中央部の山村・湯ヶ島では、秋の夕暮れ時になればこの虫が飛び回る光景が見られた。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
