While commuting through busy Shinjuku-sanchōme Station, take a moment to admire 'Hop, Step, Hop, Step,' an enchanting stained-glass mural crafted by copperplate artist Yoko Yamamoto. Installed in 2008, the 6.5-foot-long artwork captures Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit bounding through a colorful dreamscape, designed to offer travelers a brief escape from daily routine into a world of wonder. Nearby within the same station, visitors can also seek out Yamamoto's companion mosaic mural depicting the Mad Tea Party with Alice and the Hatter. Together, these playful public art installations bring a touch of classic literary fantasy beneath Tokyo's bustling streets.
