上田駅の藤城政治さんのMural w/ Go-san

先日、上田駅からしなの鉄道を戸倉向け乗ったときに上田駅の待合室に入りました。前から気になっていたえがあります。今回は親友のGoさんが色々と説明してくれました。藤城清治さんという作家で影と光を使っている絵です。この絵は上田獅子や六文銭、上田城跡など、上田らしいところをテーマにした絵です。電車で亀清にお越しになる方長野新幹線から降りて、上田からしなの鉄道に乗るときに、是非この絵を見てください。
The other day, on the way back to Togura Station from Ueda, I took a look at Shinano Railway's waiting room. There is a work of art there that I've noticed before, and this time my friend Go took the time to explain the significance of it. It's a sort of shadow painting by Seiji Fujishiro. Inside are images of Ueda -- the "rokumonsen" crest from the local samurai lord, the Ueda Shishi festival lion, scenes of Ueda Castle, and others.
If you come to Kamesei by train, when you get off the Nagano Shinkansen bullet train at Ueda to change to the local Shinano Railway for Togura, stop in the waiting room and check out this beautiful shadow art.
