it's a natto wrapped in a cherry blossom.

Original Text

It is a monument of natto on the pedestal deck on the south side of JR Mito Station. There are various theories about the history of natto, but here seems to be a theory related to Minamoto no Yoshiie. As is often said, the first person who ate it feels amazing.

Original Text

It is a statue of natto on your right right after exiting the south exit of Mito Station. It is a golden grain 々 wrapped in a raft. I think it's about 2m tall. I think it's okay to be like Mito.

Mito!

Original Text

As expected, the natto monument in the concourse of Mito Station is Mito. I think it's difficult to design natto in straw, but it's wonderful.

Golden Grain 々

Original Text

The golden grain 々 representing natto is also uncomfortable. It might have been better to try to make it a contemporary art style without pursuing reality.

As expected, it is a statue unique to Mito. It is a good tourist destination if you want to take pictures as memories of coming to Mito. It's not that daring.
