Again, this may not "technically" have been built on Japanese soil, and the artist is actually Dutch, but nevertheless, this installation was seen to have made a big spash when it debuted in Japan.
"A 10-meter-tall rubber duck has been seen on the waterways of Osaka, Japan. The humongous bath toy was designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman and was met with shouts of “Bathzilla! Bathzilla!”
Although this is not the first time the giant rubber duckie has been seen in a city, this is the first time it has floated in the waterways of Japan. Speaking of odd ducks, how about a round of applause for the randomness of Florentijn Hofman?"
