PL Peace Tower l OSAKA l 180m l 8fl

[japanese001]

PL Peace Tower
Osaka, Japan

HEIGHT: 180m
FLOORS: 8 floors
COMPLETION: 1970
ARCHITECT: ?

It is war memorial of all world people.
宗教法人パーフェクトリバティー教団の本拠地にある白亜の塔です。第2代教祖・御木徳近日知が原型デザインを行ったこの塔は、「人種、民族、国境を超え、宗教的信条を超え、あらゆる戦争犠牲者の霊を祀る」ことを目的として建てられたものだが、同時に「人生は芸術である」という教団の理念を具現化した彫刻の塔でもある。
塔内には戦没者を慰霊するための神殿があり、毎年8月1日には世界の恒久平和を祈念する年祭が催されるほか、年始には信者による初詣で賑わうという。しかし教団の聖地の中心たる「正殿」は至近距離に別に存在するためか、塔内には神殿以外にほとんど宗教色を感じさせる部分はなく、観覧にあたっては信者であるか否かはまったく関係なく、入場料さえ払えば誰でも登ることができる。

not beautiful but interesting

7/10 I like the novelty of the design, but surely not my taste. Seems to have a Gaudí inspiration to it.

I have in my possession the Miki Gold Cup 11.66 ounces, 18k gold medal the USA and I won in the pro golf match in 1971. It is embossed with the beautiful PL Peace Tower and is inscribed in American and Japanese lettering. If anyone has interest in this please reply. I have proudly displayed this medal in my home since 1971. I was paired against Jumbo Ozaki the final round, one of the finest experiences I have had in golf.100_5519.JPG (www.dwgolfsolutions.com)dweaver@dwgolfsolutions.com
