Nagoya Castle to be stripped of mythical statues for a while : The Asahi Shimbun


NAGOYA--Nagoya Castle's most famous icon, a pair of golden statues displayed high on its roof of a mythical "shachihoko" half fish and half tiger creature, is to be removed temporarily so visitors can get a closer look by viewing it on the ground.
The beloved symbol is currently hidden from view and surrounded by scaffolding. The decision to remove the resplendent ornaments was made to support the pandemic-hit tourism industry.
The ground exhibition is hosted by an executive committee comprising city government and other organizations and will take place from March 20 and July 11.
It will be the first time in 16 years for the shachihoko to be removed from their traditional perch.
