Moyai statue at Kamata by Niijima


Moyai statue is placed at Kamata station. Shibuya station has also a Moyai statue. I think the statue in Shibuya is more popular than in Kamata. These Moyai statues were presented by Niijima which is one of Izu islands(伊豆諸島).

The word "Moyai" is a Niijima's dialect word meaning "work together". The statue was made based on Moai statues of Easter islands because of it sounds like Moyai.
