The highlight!
A mysterious "waterfall" where the water that has flowed down loops infinitely
The unrealistic situation of the water flowing down the waterway and reaching the top of the waterfall again was inspired by the "Penrose Triangle" published in 1958.
The elaborateness of the building, the regular polyhedron on the tower, and the development of the plants and background on the lower left side of the screen are fully packed with elements of Escher's past works.

MC Escher
(1898-1972)
Dutch printmaker. With outstanding descriptive power and printmaking skills, he is also known as a "fantastic printmaker" and a "visual magician." He is famous for his later deception paintings and the style of repeating the same motif, but his works such as prints depicting landscapes and illustrations of books are also spectacular, and many exhibitions are held as popular artists in Japan.
