震災の津波のあとから、葛飾北斎の「神奈川沖浪裏」がとても気になり、波のような貝殻の舟が「神奈川沖浪裏」の大波のように変化していくイメージが生まれました。

Since just after the 2011 Great Earthquake and Tsunami, I often thought about Hokusai Katsushika’s “Great Wave off Kanagawa” until I finally created a boat with wave-like seashells like the great waves in the artwork. A great-wave boat is born from the moving crowd of people in Tokyo Midtown and its architecture surrounded by water.
