ARTPLA Sculpture Works: Tower of the Sun 1/200 [Kaiyodo]

Japanese Original Edition, ARTPLA Plastic Model, Brand New

Introducing Tower of the Sun Interior Model Kit, a detailed plastic model based on Taro Okamoto’s iconic masterpiece, originally created for EXPO ’70 Osaka.

This unique kit recreates the legendary Tower of the Sun in a three-dimensional anatomical form, allowing you to explore both its exterior presence and its intricate internal structure. Standing as a powerful symbol of the Osaka Expo, the monument’s striking silhouette—with arms outstretched across the plaza—has long been regarded as a near-mythical fusion of art and architecture. This model captures that essence while revealing the hidden complexity within.

At its core lies the “Tree of Life,” a dynamic representation of evolution from ancient times to the present, surrounded by the tower’s elaborate internal framework, including its distinctive truss structures. More than 50 years after its creation, this model offers a fresh way to experience Okamoto’s vision from multiple angles. Whether assembled straight from the box or fully painted for added depth, it stands as a one-of-a-kind piece that blends artistic expression with architectural design.
