Tower of the ever young sun, Modern art sculpture at Japan Monkey Park, Inuyama, Japan
The Tower of the Ever Young Sun rises 26 meters high with angular geometric forms and metal construction at Japan Monkey Park.
Artist Tarō Okamoto created this tower in 1969 as part of his series of monumental sculptures exploring cosmic themes and natural forces.
The structure represents the concept of eternal youth through its geometric design and metallic surface reflecting Japanese interpretations of solar energy.
Visitors can observe the sculpture from multiple angles along the pathways of Japan Monkey Park throughout the year.
The metal structure changes appearance throughout the day as sunlight interacts with its angular surfaces, creating different shadow patterns.
