STAR (sculpture)

"Star" sculpture (titled STAR or STAR - Light for Peace) is one of Tokujin Yoshioka’s major public artworks, unveiled in September 2022 as a permanent installation at the entrance to Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, on the Yaesu side near Tokyo Station.[1]

Standing approximately 10 meters tall, it consists of more than 2,000 octagonal rods made of mirrored stainless steel. These rods converge as if crystallizing, forming a dynamic "sculpture of light" that interacts with its environment.[2] The reflective surfaces capture and scatter sunlight during the day, turn amber at sunset, and mirror the night sky after dark, creating ever-changing radiance that blends with the surroundings.[3]
