Erected in 1995 during a street revitalization project, ‘The City Starts Walking’ features three charmingly bizarre humanoid stone figures resembling bird-potato hybrids with golden orbs for eyes and beaks. Designed by landscaper Ryuichi Koizumi, the life-size sculpture personifies a city awakening as an organic entity stepping forward toward its future. Tucked seamlessly along the sidewalk, this delightful public artwork is guaranteed to make passersby stop, smile, and do a double-take.
