Mitsuteru Yokoyama's Gigantor Gets 18 Meter Tall Kobe Monument
Date: 2/15/2007
Yomiuri Shimbun has an image of a prototype model of a Tetsujin 28 monument to be built in Kobeshi Nagataku's shopping street which was devastated by the Great Hanshin Earthquake over 10 years ago. The 18 meter high figure will go up in 2008 as a symbol of restoration. Merchants behind the monument's construction are calling it the "KOBE Tetsujin PROJECT". The cost of about 135 million Yen was allocated last May. The design and production company, etc. will be decided in the future.
