The Statue of Liberty


I took this picture of the tiny replica of the Statue of Liberty in Amemura. When I saw it I was honestly kinda surprised that it was there. Doesn't the United States care that it's there? I mean I know others replicas like this exist in Japan as well, but I still find it very interesting that it doesn't really matter. I would think that something that United States takes great pride in they would not want spattered around another country for the sake of scenery. Even as I saw this though I believe that America has probably done the same thing to a famous landmark of an another country so it doesn't really matter.

It doesn't really matter? I think the appropriation and use of important cultural symbols by foreign others is interesting and worthy of much discussion... I think it is a very relevant topic in Japan.
