“I am deeply moved, I feel the power of this construction in Odaiba, because it uses what I call the ‘twilight colors,’ which are not the colors of real weapons but peaceful colors, colors that little kids like and that tell people ‘don’t give up hope.’ I believe this statue in Odaiba will serve as a new Statue of Liberty, something that will inspire people and the new generations.“
