CHOI Jeonghwa
Kanchogai-dori, which until the end of World War Two was the site of a horse supply center for the Japanese Imperial Army, is known locally as Komakaido, or “Horse Highway.” Choi’s equine floral fantasy, installed on the open space facing the avenue, rears robustly as if ready to race off. A welcome bouquet for TAC visitors, Flower Horse seems to symbolize simultaneously Towada’s historical ties with horses, prayers for peace, and hope for the future.
