The statue of Takechi Hanpeita on the Yokonami Kuroshio Line...An imperial loyalist at the end of the Edo era, was he?There's an interesting episode involving this bronze statue.The statue first constructed looked nothing like the man himself.On top of that, the body parts were all wrong. It was just a weird statue.
