Tetsujin 28 statue

Kobe project

A 18-m-tall statue of a manga robot that was built to help rebuild the Nagata ward of Kobe both financially and morally after the great earthquake. The Nagata ward was one of the worst-hit areas and the character of the statue has a long history to Japan as a whole and specifically this area.
