Taroman Expo Explosion (2025)

Expo '70, held in Osaka, Japan, is remembered for many iconic elements, with the enduring Tower of the Sun standing out. This 70-meter tall sculpture-building was the brainchild of the acclaimed artist Taro Okamoto, often dubbed "the Japanese Picasso." Despite his passing in 1996, Okamoto remains a celebrated luminary in modern Japanese art, known for fearlessly challenging norms to champion creative freedom for all. His distinctive style fused Pop Art and surrealism with inspirations from both the Space Age and the Stone Age. Okamoto's legacy encompasses strikingly imaginative works and his pronouncements on art, which were not abstract theories but spirited, populist rallying cries.
