This is the Asahi Beer building in Asakusa, Japan. I think the sculpture on top looks like a carrot. The Japanese people call it the "golden turd". Honestly, they do! At first the kids were calling it that, and I said, "No, it's not!" And later the adults confirmed that yes, that is what everybody thinks it is! Nobody is totally sure about what it was intended to be. You can read about it on Wikipedia. What do YOU think it looks like?Monday, July 14, 2008
