Shinjuku Central Park sand sculpture
by Toshihiko Hosaka

I've walked past this bit of the park many times. I never saw anything this cool . . . just girls practicing dance routines,
and a group of drummers having a session (actually, that was pretty cool).

 

Holy lol that Godzilla foot shichimi stand/holder is great

 

Indeed, it certainly 'stands' out.


Dear Santa-san, i would love one of these for Christmas.
