井の頭乃池弁天の社

広重の「名所江戸百景」第八十七景「井の頭乃池弁天の社」を引用して描いています。当時は遠くの山々が見えるほど大きな池でしたが、現在は自然公園を備えた、野鳥の集う大きな公園です。中央に描かれている弁天堂だけ、変わらずにその姿を残しています。

Inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige

This work depicts a quotation from Hiroshige's "Inokashira no ike Benten no yashiro (Inokashira Pond Benten Shrine)”, No.87 from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo". At the time, the pond was so large that the mountains in the distance could be seen, but currently it is the large park with nature park, where wild birds gather. Only the Benten-do, depicted in the center, has remained unchanged.
