Taro Okamoto - ARTPLA - Tower of the Sun Model Kit

A model of the interior of the "Tower of the Sun" is making a comeback as a plastic model kit!

This is a three-dimensional anatomical model of the largest monument in human history.

The Tower of the Sun, born as the symbol of the Japan World Exposition EXPO '70 (commonly known as the Osaka Expo), still stands alone in the grassy plaza with its arms outstretched, a presence that can be described as a "divine statue."

Inside, there is the "Tree of Life," teeming with living things from ancient times to the present day, and the inside of its arms is constructed with a complex truss structure. This is a three-dimensional representation of Taro Okamoto's masterpiece artwork and a monument unlike anything else in human history, in its current form more than 50 years after its construction.

This plastic model kit allows you to observe this unique entity, a fusion of art and architecture created by Taro Okamoto, from various angles. Assemble it, paint it, and enjoy it as a one-of-a-kind three-dimensional anatomical model.
