Tower of the Sun

A friend just introduced me to the work of Taro Okamoto. His two most famous works are the Tower of the Sun, which was made for the 1970 Osaka expo, and was once in a building which has since gone, and the Myth of Tomorrow, a massive Guernica inspired mural depicting the moment of the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
I really must see a bit more of Japan!
