You ’ve got to jazz a city manager whose vision for municipal fine art looks something like this . A 60 - foot statue of Gigantor is to have pride of place in the townsfolk of Kobe , Japan . The 135 - million - yen structure ( around $ 1.1 million ) will weigh 70 tons and is going up for two reasons .
The carving of the iron behemoth , who first appeared in 1958 , will both mark the birthplace of Divine Mitsuteru Yokoyama , who died in an apartment firing in 2004 and celebrate the positive feedback of Kobe , 12 long time after an earthquake lay wastefulness to the town . So , Robo - tourer , what are you waiting for ? Make Kobe ’s city manager a very well-chosen piece .
