川風、十二の一席
Twelve Signs at the Riverside Table
8月3日。広重の「江戸高名会亭尽」に着想を得た画面では、開け放たれた座敷の向こうに川と町が続き、器、客、給仕、景色が一つの物語になります。今日は自分だけの正解を急ぐより、席を整え、相手を迎え、ひと口と一言を丁寧に置いてください。よい一日は、よい店と同じく、何を出すかだけでなく、誰のために空間をつくるかで決まります。
On August 3, a composition inspired by Hiroshige’s Famous Restaurants of Edo opens the dining room toward river and city, letting vessels, guests, attendants and landscape form one story. Do not rush to prove your own answer. Set the table, welcome another person, and place one bite and one sentence with care. A good day, like a good restaurant, is shaped not only by what it serves but by whom it makes room for.
