Resumo

This essay sketches a connection between Rose of Versailles (Berusaiyu no bara, 1972), Ikeda Riyoko's shôjo (girls’) manga set in Versailles, and artist Murakami Takashi's 2010 exhibition at the Château de Versailles and in its gardens. In doing so, it suggests that the exhibition be viewed in terms of the nesting of one imaginary land (Japan) inside another (France), positing a new interpretive framework for thinking about Murakami's work as a commentary on cultural exchange.
