Godzilla was created by radioactivity, but Bread Man was made into a monster by religion. Initially, the idea of the performance came from the bible: I have been forced to read it by my female friends. They taught me Jesus said to his disciples at his last Supper, ‘bread is my flesh and red wine is my blood’.

The smell of bread is very characteristic, but in the Japanese kitchen no bread was used.
