Statue of Okakura Tenshin

Statue on the edge of Fukui Central Park

An average statue on the edge of Fukui Central Park, though the detail in the face is impressive. It looks nice with Sakae shrine in the background.

Central Park の corner

Original Text

It was a large statue standing in a corner of Fukui City Central Park. It was on the opposite side of the Fukui Castle Ruins and I didn't know who the statue was from a distance, but when I looked up close at the statue standing in the back of Sakaeda Sha, there was a "Okakura Tenshin-sensei statue" on the pedestal. I don't know the details, but it was said that he was born as a son of a feudal retainer of Echizen domain.
