  東海道五十三次の今を収めたスケッチ集
  歌川広重の描いた『東海道五十三次』を訪れ、今の風景を収めたスケッチ集。フランス出身のイラストレーター、フィリップ・ドゥローが東京と京都を結ぶ東海道をスクーターで旅し、今の五十三次の風景を描きました。各スケッチには、元の浮世絵も掲載し、ドゥロー氏が旅の中で見たこと感じたことを、ウィットに富んだコメントを書き添えています。
  
  Though the road itself is now submerged under Japan's twenty-first-century urban landscape, French artist Philippe Delord set out to see if he could find the original locations, with just a moped, sketchbook, watercolors and a book of Hiroshige's prints.
  
  Hiroshige's Japan allows readers to make the journey alongside Delord, venturing from Tokyo and Mount Fuji to mountain passes and rugged coastlines. Inside are all 53 original scenery prints made by Hiroshige, alongside their modern-day equivalent by Delord. A lively commentary about his experiences as he tries to locate each of the 53 scenes (without speaking Japanese!) offers readers an insightful, and often humorous, look into both modern and historical Japan.
  
  Part travelogue, part work of art, this book is sure to delight armchair travelers, history buffs, art enthusiasts and Japanophiles alike!
