Village Where You Can Meet Statues, Outdoor sculpture park in Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
The Village Where You Can Meet Statues features over 800 sculptures crafted by Chinese artist Lu Jinqiao, positioned throughout natural outdoor settings.
Local businessman Mutsuo Furukawa invested 6 billion yen to establish this sculpture park in 1989, bringing the artworks via the Jinzu River.
The sculptures represent a mix of Buddhist icons, Chinese and Japanese folklore characters, zodiac animals, and personal connections to the founder.
The sculpture park stands 18 kilometers south of Toyama city, maintained by volunteers who preserve the artistic legacy of this cultural destination.
Several statues within the collection depict actual people from the founder's life, including his friends, family members, and business associates.
