👍👍 Her name is "Nagisa" (^-^) What she holds in her right hand is "the sun". Constructed of stainless steel, plating, rivets, FRP (glass fiber), etc. Although I am exposed to the rain and wind every day, I am full of energy every day. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a symbol of HAT Kobe, standi... People often mention Kobe, Sister, Earthquake,

    Her name is "Nagisa" (^-^) What she holds in her right hand is "the sun". Constructed of stainless steel, plating, rivets, FRP (glass fiber), etc. Although I am exposed to the rain and wind every day, I am full of energy every day. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a symbol of HAT Kobe, standing in the backyard with such a presence. It's good. I hope it will continue to be maintained and stay in Kobe as much as possible.

    ■Sun Sister “Nagisa” A modern object located in Chuo Ward, Kobe City. A giant metal sculpture of a girl standing on the south side of the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. Earthquake prayer art. Name: Sun Sister “Nagisa” Author: Kenji Yanobe Erected: June 2015 Height: Approximately 6m ●To the south of the Kenriku Museum of Art is a grand staircase, and it is located at the bottom of the staircase. Sun Sister Nagisachan faces the sea and can be clearly seen from Museum Road in front of the quay. As this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, the museum and the Kobe Prefectural Civic Center have planned a project to bring liveliness to Museum Road, which connects the museum and Oji Zoo (in the city's Nada ward). Created by Kenji Yanobe. I heard that there was an unveiling ceremony on June 28, 2015. Anime-like sharp eyes, long hair, and boots. A miniskirt with flared hem. This is Nagisa Chan, which is made of stainless steel and shines brightly. It stands on a black granite stone platform about 50cm high, and when you get close to the stone platform, you can almost feel your head covered by the skirt. The one that rests on the palm of the right hand is called the sun ☀. Erected as a monument commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, it looks at the past, present, and future, and stands on the ground holding a ``shining sun'' as a symbol of hope, watching over reconstruction and rebirth.

    cute! Flare line mini dress. Even the boots and pants are metal. It's really nice. Her face has perfect eyes and a hairstyle that looks like something out of a nostalgic anime. Do you like Nagisa-chan? It's a level of independence that would be rude to even gossip about it. It reminded me of Nana-chan in front of the Meitetsu Department Store in Nagoya. She seems to have a stronger will than Nana-chan. He holds high in his hand a ``shining sun'' as a symbol of hope. Produced in hopes of recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Produced by Kenji Yanobe

    This stretch along the river is very peaceful and provides some refuge from the city.

    (Translated by Google) High-impact Sun Sister! The cyclists running around here have almost always uploaded photos, so I had no desire. (Original) インパクトのある Sun Sister! このあたりを走るサイクリストは必ずといってよいくらい写真をアップされているので、念願がかないました。

    This is a monument called "Sun Sister" located on the south side of the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art in Chuo Ward, Kobe City. This was created by Kenji Yanobe, an artist from Osaka, 20 years after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and was apparently built in hopes of helping people recover from the earthquake disasters that are happening all over the world. It is said to be a monument to the older sister of the ``Sun Child,'' which he created after the Great East Japan Earthquake with similar thoughts. The silver shining dress with the hem of the skirt spread out like a disc is impressive, and the small sun held in her right hand suggests something like hope. By the way, Sun Child has been relocated from its original location in Fukushima City to Minami Ibaraki Station in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture.

    (Translated by Google) What is that? Because it stands out so much that you want to get close to it Successful as a billboard (signboard girl?) You look a little scary when you look at it at night (Original) あれ何?って近づきたくなるくらい目立つので 広告塔(看板娘?)としては成功してる 夜見るとちょっと怖い顔してる

    (Translated by Google) A spot where you can see Kenji Yanobe's works. There is also a staircase where you can sit comfortably while looking at the sea, so you can relax while feeling the sea breeze. (Original) ヤノベケンジさんの作品が見れるスポット。 ゆったりと海を見ながら座れる階段もあり、海の風を感じながらゆっくりと過ごせました。

🫤 It's quiet, and it doesn't have a presence, probably because the view of Meriken Park is wonderful. However, I thought that a monument was necessary because it is flourishing now because immigrants went to new places.
