Monument in front of Yonezawa station

Original Text

A monument in front of Yonezawa Station. It expresses how children are playing. However, I didn't see the real children around Yonezawa Station.

２１ It seems to represent the appearance of Yonezawa, a century city.

Original Text

It is said that it represents Yonezawa's appearance aiming at the completion of the century city of vitality, creation and love in the square in front of Yonezawa station. The white tower extending above expresses Yonezawa Ori, the local folk craft "Otaka Poppo", etc. ２１ The statue of children, birds, and small animals in the body means the ２１ century as a life with the potential for tomorrow. It seems to symbolize Yonezawa City, which develops in harmony with nature. With Yonezawa Station in the background, it became a pretty picture. However, it seems that few people notice this monument.

Children who will lead the future

Original Text

At the monument in front of the station, many children play happily with cats and birds on the pedestal with the motif of the local folk craft "Otaka Poppo", and with old-fashioned toys such as bamboo dragonflies and windmills. It seems to be playing. I felt warm.

It was a shape with children on top of an arrow as if heading to the sky.

Original Text

It is a monument made of large metal plates installed in front of you after getting off Yonezawa Station. It was shaped like a child was placed on an arrow as if heading to the sky. In front of Yonezawa station, I felt that I was trying a station building that looked like a Western-style building using modern inorganic building materials, and other towns.

Would you like to have a high target?

Original Text

The monument of the aluminum plate of ６ meters high built in front of the station is １４ children and small animals ７ bodies. According to the city, the tower extending upward means "the flow of time" and the white landscape means "unknown, possibility". Although it is a very impressive monument, the name of the creator was not expected and I asked at the information center, but I didn't know. It seems that a melody that tells the time four times a day is being flown from here.
