Yep. This was in Roppongi, an Entertainment district. Tokyo has bizarre statues like this all over the place!Β I was being blown away by things like this every day!
A trip to Japan? Well, it's not impossible, and it will be worth your time.Β And you'll never be the same. Changes the way you see things, your world view. Since then, i want to do better, to achieve better things, to be a better person.

Apparently the thing was named in honor of the Artist's mother.

Β Maman.Β A spider is one way to remember her mother. A strange way, but hey , she's an Artist. Goes without saying...

That's both an amazing sculpture but also VERY freaky. It reminds me a little of the tripods from War of the Worlds.

Β Yes, it does at that. Maybe one that's been partially melted?
