Live Like A Cat -Furusato Maneki Imabari-

Live Like A Cat

This is a Live Like A Cat artwork, centered on a ship inspired by the Murakami navy. The layered colors of the sea symbolize the accumulation of culture. It depicts the Torii gate of the Oyamazumi Shrine, which has supported the rich history of Imabari City, against the backdrop of beautiful islands. We've incorporated waves like circles (or connections) to represent the Murakami navy, a 'protective pirate' that cherished harmony and nurtured a rich culture, and a 'rich circulation' adept at commerce. This art piece embodies our hopes for ongoing cultural creation and development in Imabari City, even in modern times, through connections with the outside world.
