Other Works
This is another work.
I don't know whose work this is.
This work is on the way to Chichu Art Museum.
Its height is about 3-4 meters.
It is no doubt that this is unconcerned with Benesse.
These are two Great Stone Face.
These are behind the junior high school house. They have been there for
over 30 years. I don't know why its painting don't drop out.
If you have a enogh time you might search these works.
