Do you know the name of this enormous statue? 👀🙌
Seen in a distance is a Dogu statue, which translates to “earthen figure,” a type of pottery found in Aomori Prefecture, called Shakokidogu. The vast figure standing guard at Kizukuri Station on the JR Gono Line welcomes visitors by blinking its eyes in different beautiful colors as trains arrive and leave.
Many thanks to @takumatravel for this warm welcome!
