Japanese Stone Sulpture by Susumu Ikegami

This was an attempt to harmonize modern sculpture with the sort of traditional street scene that has now become increasingly rare in Japan. Interestingly, the white walls and lattice doors make a compelling background for an objet that is reminiscent of a woman just slightly rolling her hips in passing. A sensor inside the sculpture causes it to light up when cars or pedestrians pass, drawing further attention to it after dusk. As a "streetcorner sculpture", the work has become a focal point in the town, offering both residents and visitors a friendly and familiar contact with art.   Red granite
