Mother and Child's Statue of Akai Kutsu-No Onnanoko

Simple and Over Quickly

The plaque and sign are in Japanese. There’s no interpretation in English, Chinese, etc. Hard to tell what it is about. Just two figures on a stone. Not so interesting unless you know the background.

Nihondaira Park

Didn't know this statue of child & mother was significant - I just happened upon it when in the park area by the Ropeway. It's close to the telecommunications tower at the top of Nihondaira Park.

"Red shoes" mother and child statue

Original Text

A monument named after "Red Shoes" written by Yujo Noguchi. I've seen this girl's monument in Yokohama before, but I didn't know that this story was a real story.

Under the dream terrace building

Original Text

I happened to go to the Nihondaira Ropeway first from the parking lot without going to the building of the dream terrace, so I decided to pass in front of this. At first, it was "What?", Next, "Why here?", but it was enough to read the origin. I also thought that the installation location was subtle.

I used to sing when I was a kid.

Original Text

I thought it was a cute song, but I was full of sadness about the story of the very sad parents and children. I can see it from the dream terrace, but I thought the location was different from before.
