Is the mouse with umbrella that appeared in Tokyo Banksy's?

Near the Hinoide station in Tokyo, on a door intended to prevent flooding, a graffiti was noticed that may be the work of the famous street artist Banksy.
The image depicts a small mouse holding an open umbrella and a briefcase with its paws: this would be very similar to the famous Umbrella Rat, whose authorship is by Banksy himself.

The work could therefore have been done by the famous Bristol street artist, but the date of its creation also remains undetermined, as the image does not appear to be in very good condition.

The photo of the graffiti began circulating on social media the moment the governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, also posted on her Twitter profile a shot of her standing next to the mouse. “A Banksy gift for the city?” she added.
