Statues by the Creator of Sento-kun in Fuchu
I took this photo in Fuchu-sakura-dori-hiroba Park.
The creator of these statues is Satoshi Yabuuchi, a sculptor and a professor of Tokyo University of the Arts. His favorite theme is a mixture of a child and a Buddhist statue with spooky atmosphere of supernatural beings, like the statues in this photo.
Last year, Nara Prefecture had an event to celebrate1300th anniversary of Nara Capital. A mascot character of the event was “Sento-kun.” The creator was Satoshi Yabuuchi. Actually, Sento-kun was not so spooky for his work. But some people still did not like him. A controversy caused by Sento-kun made him a very famous character. These statues are recognized by people as “work by the creator of Sento-kun.”
