It’s by Gregorius Shiarta Soito of Indonesia. Sculpted in 1996. I would like through the sculpture BNO I would like to express my opinion that disorientation is a factor able to disturb a person’s balance as they go through life which is full of conflicting values being simp symbolizes maturity which can accommodate differences and change them into harmonious interrelated elements. I hope this will have relevance for the people of Fukuoku. And this was again by Gregorius Sedarta of Indonesia. November 30th, 1996. So very spiritual meaning to this sculpture.

In this vlog, we traveled to Fukuoka, one of Japan’s biggest cities. While there we visited Dazaifu Tenmangu, a very historic temple for the Japanese nobility. Another stop is the world famous Gundam statue. Then we explored the Fukuoka Tower, another major landmark, and the lively district of Tenjin. All and all this was an adventure that was fun but also exhausting. Priceless experience. Hope you enjoy!!!
