水天宮箱崎

東京メトロ水天宮前駅の出口から臨む、首都高速道路の箱崎ジャンクションの夜景です。

箱崎ジャンクションは東京都内屈指のジャンクションとして知られ、その独特なフォルムから、日本神話に登場する8本の頭と8本の尾を持つ巨大な生物「八岐大蛇」とも呼ばれています。大都市・東京の物流を昼夜問わずに支える都市の動脈であり、近景には同じく東京の生活を昼夜問わずに支えるコンビニが描かれています。

Inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige

This work is a night view of the Hakozaki Junction of the Metropolitan Expressway as seen from the exit of Tokyo Metro Suitengumae Station.

Hakozaki Junction is known as one of the best junctions in Tokyo, and because of its unique form, it is also called "Yamata no Orochi", a giant creature with 8 heads and 8 tails that appears in Japanese mythology. It is an urban artery that supports the logistics of the metropolis Tokyo day and night, and in the near view is depicted a Konbini (convenience store) that also supports a life in Tokyo day and night.
