During today's hustle and bustle, I happened to find myself in Shinagawa Station, which should be fairly well known among Godzilla fans for its connection with the kaiju classic Godzilla (1954). In fact, the above tile on Platform 1 of the JR Yamanote Line seems to commemorate that fact, though the creature depicted looks different enough from the Big G to avoid scrutiny from Toho's lawyers. Nevertheless, I think we can agree that this creature is, as Forrest J Ackerman might say, monsterrific! Kaiju fans around the world ought to thank him for keeping a small piece of monster movie history alive.
