Hmm, the results from Nishinomiyahama residents are turning out surprisingly mixed…
So, what’s the answer?
Rafflesia grows in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Apparently, the flower only lasts for about 5 days↓
There’s no way something like that would be in Nishinomiyahama.
So, Rafflesia is ×
↓This is an attraction called Sky Tower at Tokyo Dome City
There are currently no plans for a Nishinomiyahama amusement park.
So the attraction is also ×
Then, is the answer lighting or art?↓
The answer↓
The answer was art!
This is an artwork by Anthony Caro.
He was a British sculptor known for abstract sculptures made from steel.
By the way, this one is made of stainless steel. Makes sense, since it’s near the sea and would rust otherwise.
Personally, I thought it might be used as lighting, but apparently it doesn’t light up.
