專家說明

Resting on a window ledge, a white cat gazes out through a barred window over the Asakusa rice-fields below. A flock of birds descend towards Mount Fuji in the southwest and a long silhouetted line of a festival procession extends across the paddies. Here was the sight of Otori Shrine, worshipped particularly by the commoner class in the Edo period for commercial favour and fortune, and communally celebrated in the Torinomachi festival in November.
