Kyoto, 2009
We were temple-hopping on foot in Kyoto and along the way I saw and snapped this golden sculpture. I now wish I'd stopped a bit longer to consider a better angle to take the photo, but still I think it is quite an imposing piece of public art. I also didn't get any information about it, so if anyone can fill us in, that would be super.
PS. Thanks to fellow blogger VP from Livorno Daily Photo for this link to some information about this sculpture.
Perhaps the folks at Mellow Yellow Monday would enjoy this. You'll find many links to blogs offering creative takes on mellow yellow.

Very mellow gold color. Interesting statue. I like your interpretation, holding up the sky.

I like this sculpture very much - and will try to remember the words: an imposing piece of public art - thanks for that, too ;-)
Have a great week!
Wow, look at those hands! I think I'd pull a muscle trying to copy that pose! ;-D
Powerful! Great shot, Francisca.

fantastic photo and sculpture!
I've been all over most of Kyoto, but somehow I missed this!
A beautiful sculpture. Thanks for sharing.
I hit the post button too soon. Meant to add that I read through all the comments to see if anyone came through with more explanation. Guess not. Regardless of the explanation (if any) is is beautiful to look at.
Unique and interesting sculpture!
