Oshii Art Gets Home
Date: 10/30/2005
Post Aichi Expo, many are still wondering where the final resting place for Satsuki And May's House will be in light of the 4-5 city tug of war going on in Japan. That said, a permanent home for some of the items in another popular fan draw at the event has been decided. The National Science Museum in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture will take possession of some of the parts of the Dreamt Mountain pavilion including the art creations of famed director Mamoru Oshii. The plan is to preserve the items and exhibit them across Japan. One Oshii statue that is 2.5 meters in height and 200 kilos in weight was donated to the museum. The piece symbolizes the spirits of the dead who become a symbol of all things tied to man and nature. Although exhibitions are planned the art currently sits in a warehouse in Tsukuba.
