This is a three-dimensional anatomical diagram of the largest monument in human history.
This 1/200 scale architectural model recreates the Tower of the Sun, even down to its interior.
The Tower of the Sun was created as a symbol of the EXPO '70 (commonly known as the Osaka Expo), and even today, it stands alone on the grassy plain, its arms outstretched, a sort of divine statue.
The Tower of the Sun is home to the Tree of Life, a collection of creatures from ancient times to the present, and the interior of both arms is constructed with a complex truss structure.
Taro Okamoto's masterpiece, an unprecedented monument in human history, has been recreated in three dimensions as it appears today, approximately 50 years after its construction.
This one-of-a-kind fusion of Taro Okamoto's artwork and architecture has been commercialized as a plastic model kit, allowing you to observe the constituent surfaces, three-dimensional form, and design from various angles.
Assemble and paint it, and enjoy it as a one-of-a-kind three-dimensional anatomical diagram.
