At Yokoami-cho Park

There are statues of Yokai (supernatural creature) in Tokyo Memorial Hall. This bird-like-thing on the roof is one of them. It is said that the architect Ito Chuta loved Yokai very much.

 

When I saw the statue, my first thought was that this must be created by "the Deep Ones" of Cthulhu myths. The hall was built in 1930, when H. P. Lovecraft was writing the Cthulhu myths in US. Interesting.
