"A Lasting Symbol"
Best known as the beacon of Expo '70, the Tower of the Sun is a monumental labor of love created by the eminent artist, Tarō Okamoto. Situated inside the Expo Commemoration Park, this eerily iconic tower is a whimsical sight, but the underlying message is a testament to the very nature of human existence. Rising to an altitude of 70 meters (230 feet), this distinctive work of art symbolizes the past, present and future, each aptly represented by one of the three faces placed along its tapered facade. Its otherworldly visage seemingly transcends time and space and has been featured often in popular culture. A lasting symbol of creativity and forward-motion, the Tower of the Sun has come to be an inextricable part of Osaka's collective identity.
