Japanese artist Okamoto Tarō.'s 1978 sculpture Joy (歓び “Plaisir”) in a side street in Yotsuya, Tokyo, outside the Mochida Pharmaceutical building.

I'm a big fan of Okamoto Tarō. Tokyo is dotted with his art. This 1978 sculpture, entitled Joy (歓び “Plaisir”), is in a side street in Yotsuya outside the Mochida Pharmaceutical building. #岡本太郎 #OkamotoTaro #JapaneseArt #JapaneseSculpture #四谷 #四ツ谷 #Yotsuya #歓び #Plaisir #MochidaPharmaceutical

L’expo-dossier « Taro Okamoto » au @quaibranly avec un documentaire excellent de Jean Rouch 万博にちなんでか、旧人類博物館との関係が深かった岡本太郎についての小さな展覧会がケ・ブランリー博物館で行われていました。ジャン・ルーシュの撮ったインタビューが面白い。ネットでも見られるようです #quaibranly #tarookamoto #okamototaro #expouniverselle #expositionuniverselle #expositionuniverselle1970

Okamoto Taro is my favourite Japanese artist. His Tower of the Sun is my favourite piece of Japanese art. This is my vintage statuette of it.

Okamoto Tarō (1911-1996)

He's especially famous for his cutting-edge paintings, public sculptures, and murals, as well as for his unique ideas about blending traditional Japanese culture with avant-garde art.
