The Tower of the Sun

In front of Taro Okamoto's massive Tower of the Sun.

During my recent trip to Osaka, I made sure to pay a visit to the 70-meter-tall Tower of the Sun sculpture in Expo '70 Commemorative Park, just outside the city. Aside from just being visually interesting, it was featured during the opening credits of The Last Days of Planet Earth (a.k.a. Prophecies of Nostradamus, 1974), which gave me an added incentive to visit it. The Tower of the Sun is an impressive piece of art, and I'd fully recommend it to anyone who might be interested in checking it out.
