I want to see the face of the Messenger statue at Chuo-ohashi Bridge, I really want to see it!
Chuo-ohashi Bridge, which connects Shinkawa and Tsukuda. Thanks to the construction of this bridge, Tsukuda Island is directly connected to the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, making it convenient enough to go to Tokyo Station by bicycle. Then the price of the condominium in Tsukuda rises, and the high-rise floor exceeds 100 million yen. High-rise apartments will be lined up in the neighborhood. Chuo-ohashi Bridge is a very beautiful bridge with 32 cables affixed diagonally.
The statue of Osship Zackin, "Messenger" stands on the base protruding from the bridge facing the sky tree in the center, as if the helmet front of this bridge was upside down. According to the nameplate, "The statue exhibited at the Paris World Exposition in 1937, represents the guardian angel of France, which dispatches ships overseas in search of rare wood."
Only the back of the messenger can be seen from the bridge.
You can only see the rear view from the bridge. To see your face, climb the pedestal without regard to danger or look up from the water surface of the Sumida River.
In the third challenge ...
I chose the Sumida River and took a water bus. But I can't see my face well because it's far away (the first photo). I took a small boat out from the side of Nihonbashi, hoping that a closer ship would be better. However, it is cloudy and I can't see well (second time). This is my third challenge. The weather was fine and I was able to take a good picture! But my face is cut ...
I gave up my face
Kiyoharu Art Village in Yamanashi Prefecture also has a messenger statue made by Osship Zackin. I gave up asking if I couldn't see my face unless I went there, and suddenly I saw a copperplate print with my face written on the bridge. As a whole, I didn't notice it because I was full, but the statue of Yamanashi seen in the photo was like this.
I was refreshed to see my face.
