Pop Japan

Japan has those giant ice sculptures during winter, located in Sapporo, Hokkaido Prefecture. But the Tottori Prefecture would not let all the cold stuff steal the limelight.

The photo features a sand sculpture, created from the famous sand of the Tottori Sand Dunes. The area has also created a musuem, in order to compile and gather all the sand sculptures that are truly world-class. Called the Tottori Sand Dune Museum, the place houses not only sand sculptures made by Japanese artists but also of other sand art makers across the globe. The lates exhibition has the theme "United States of America" and is displaying from April 15, 2017 to January 3, 2018.
