If You Build It...

So what does the gold sculpture atop of this building look like to you?

If you said shaving cream, you'd be wrong. If you said a flame that is being blown on, you'd make the creator happy because that was his intention. If you said it looks like a big yellow poop, you're on your way to becoming a Japanese person.

I know this blog has focused on fecal matter a little too much, but the Japanese are obsessed by it. I have been told that this building is a laugh-point for the Japanese. Part of the Asahi beer building area, it was supposed to be a shining example of the glory of Japanese design. Instead it's called the "poop" building and a source of humor for all. You see, the Japanese think poop is funny. That's what I've been told. I will take some pics of the cartoon poops to further validate my claim, so stay tuned.
