This 6.2-meter-statue is called 'Sun Child', which was created by Kenji Yanobe in 2011. Now it is standing near the Hankyu Minami-Ibaraki station in Osaka.
This boy in a yellow protective suit has the sun in his right hand and is looking forward for the future with determination. It gives a big hope and dream to those who are struggling for recovery after last year's big earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
I was impressed by his strong expression even though he is hurt.
This is part of Mellow Yellow Monday.
This is so cute!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring statue. Kenji Yanobe is a genius!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by.
hi Annie, it is continually surprising to remind people of what the ideas of something ... this statue, in the face with the injury, the sun in his hand, but a very determined face, expresses very much strong will ...
