その６本の柱の近くに大きな集会所が有りました。

The very rare board shaped clay figure had found too.

A few decades ago,archeologists had thought these earthwares and clay figures were

worthless as fine arts.

 

But Taro Okamoto insisted repeatedly that they were very valuable as fine arts.

 

Many people came to notice that the earthwares and clay figures were very valuable

as fine art.

 

So nowadays, Earthwares and Clay figures became Representative fine arts in Japan.

 

After that Taro Okamoto made a symbol tower of EXPO '70, which is known as a tower of the Sun.

 

Many people would feel the big influence of the clay figures of prehistoric age in his tower.

 

 

Looking this six chestnut tree building,it is very fantastic to imagine what kind of life they spent

in prehistoric period.
