Recycle Godzilla

This statue of the SF film star “Godzilla” is made from recycled waste. Images of TOHO Studio’s famous monster can be found all around Japan. Godzilla — its name is an amalgamation of gorilla and kujira (whale) — made its first movie appearance more than 50 years ago, and still remains popular. He has become an ally of mankind and battles malignant monsters. And he’s careful not to destroy castles and other historical landmarks, so in that sense one could argue he’s even more humane than human beings.
