六本木空の眺望

広重の「名所江戸百景」第十七景「飛鳥山北の眺望」や第百十七景「湯しま天神坂上眺望」をヒントに、江戸時代には無かった鳥瞰図として六本木ヒルズのスカイデッキからの眺望を描いています。

画面に大きく描かれている蝶は、作家がこの場所を訪れた時の体験に基づいています。近景はスカイデッキのヘリポート、中景に東京タワーと増上寺、遠景に東京湾が描かれています。

Inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige

Inspired by Hiroshige's "Asukayama kita no chobo", No.17, and "Yushima Tenjin sakaue chobo", No.117 from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo", the artist depicted the view from the Sky Deck of Roppongi Hills as a bird's-eye view, which was not available in the Edo period.

The large butterfly on the left is based on the artist's experience when they visited this location. The helipad on the Sky Deck is depicted in the close-up view, Tokyo Tower and Zojoji Temple in the middle view, and Tokyo Bay in the distant view.
