Hisho, Spiral sculpture at Nagoya Station Intersection, Japan
The 23-meter high conical monument features 16 structural pipes and 96 decorative pipes arranged in a spiral pattern at the station entrance.
The sculpture was installed in 1989 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Nagoya City during the World Design Expo celebration.
The design incorporates patterns from Jomon pottery and represents the citizens of Nagoya joining together to create a new urban environment.
The structure included fiber optic lighting systems and fountain hoses, serving as a central meeting point at the station's eastern rotary intersection.
In 2022, after decades as a landmark, the monument was dismantled and stored in Nagoya Port district due to railway infrastructure developments.
