Created by artist Osami Yamamoto along an 80-meter retaining wall in Hanamaki, this extraordinary outdoor artwork appears virtually invisible under the bright sun. Once darkness falls, blacklight illumination reveals a radiant, dreamlike vista of steam locomotives charting a course through glowing starfields. The striking scene celebrates the visionary imagination of hometown author Kenji Miyazawa, bringing his poetic cosmic journey vividly to life. It is an enchanting evening stop for art lovers, literature fans, and curious night wanderers alike.
