Iitate Monster Tower
Fujin–Iitate Monster Tower is a massive sculpture with a body standing sharply on the ground, holding a sack in both hands that causes wind and three windmills on its back. The windmills act as a small wind power generator, periodically absorbing and expelling water from a pond using stored energy. This sculpture served as the Fujin in a ceremony commemorating the 400th anniversary of Rimpa, PANTHEON, as a symbol of the circulation of atmosphere and water, as well as the purification of the land. The work was installed in the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Garden’s Kagamiike pond, just in front of the greenhouse.
