TAKAMATSU — Statues of naked women are being removed from parks and other locations nationwide, in keeping with modern sentiments that they are inappropriate for public places.
The statues were set up in many locations as symbols of peace, replacing those of military officers after the end of World War II. Recently, however, many people believe they are incongruous with today’s values or should only be exhibited in museums.
