招猫望郷

パリの「浮世ドット絵」7作目、テレーズ通り（Rue Thérèse）から臨む風景です。日本食レストランが集まるこのエリアのお店には、幸福と来客を招くという「招き猫」が多く顔を覗かせています。東の遠方に望むのは、歌川広重の「名所江戸百景」第八景、商いで賑わう江戸の街を描いた「する賀てふ」の富士山を引用しています。

Inspired by Henri Rivière and Utagawa Hiroshige

This work is the 7th "Ukiyo.e" in Paris, depicting the view from rue Thérèse. Many "Maneki-neko (lucky cat / le chat porte-bonheur)", believed to bring happiness and customers, peek out from the shops in this area where Japanese restaurants gather. The distant view to the east references Hiroshige's "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" No.8, depicting the bustling commercial streets of Edo, specifically the image of Mount Fuji from "Suruga-cho".
