Do you know why there is a Statue of Liberty in Odaiba? I just thought it was a tourist destination. I was asked by a foreigner, so I looked into it. To commemorate the 1998-1999 "French Year in Japan", the Statue of Liberty on the Signe Island on the Seine River in Paris in 1889 was opened by Odaiba Beach from April 1998 to January 1999. It seems to have been installed in the park. The graceful figure standing in Odaiba against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge was loved by many as a symbol of friendship between France and Japan, and as the statue returned to France approached, there was a growing desire to build a reprint statue. Against this background, we drafted a plan to produce a complete reproduction of the original image and applied to the original image owner, Paris. With the cooperation of the French Executive Committee in Japan and the Embassy of France in Japan, with the formal permission of the city of Paris in March 1999, a replica of the Statue of Liberty, which returned to France, began to take shape. it was done.
