I went to the popular "Jomon Exhibition" by Hiroshi Azuma. During the day of Weekday, he is a great man despite this heat. It seems that there is also the word "JOMON Girls". From when did "JOMON" become so popular? This time, the main feature is the collection of six Jomon national treasures, including "flame-shaped pottery" and "shading pottery clay figurines", which are familiar in textbooks, but in the 1950s, when the word Jomon period was not yet established, Taro Okamoto said, "I found the origin of Japanese culture in Jomon pottery." Yes, it's Taro Okamoto of "Art is an explosion!" It has become a hot topic that the "Tower of the Sun" of the Osaka Expo in 1970 will be released internally for the first time in almost 50 years, but there was also Taro Okamoto's work in Chuo-ku. It's the clock tower of Sukiyabashi Park. I looked at it after a long time. It was donated in February 1968 by requesting Taro Okamoto to commemorate the formation of the Sukiyabashi Lions Club. It's a little earlier than the work of the Osaka Expo, but it's somewhat similar in shape. It seems that the watch is made of CITIZEN. According to the website of the Taro Okamoto Memorial Hall, "The corners protruding vigorously in all directions express the power to blow off. It seems to be a symbol of Japan and Tokyo that is growing. It's the energy of JOMON itself. This clock tower glows at night. It has been less than two years before the 2020 Olympics. I feel like I can give you new power.
