Dai Heiwa Kinen Tō

From the Architecture Desk

Dai Heiwa Kinen Tō (translated: The Great Peace Prayer Tower), is a cenotaph tower in Japan. It'd dedicated to "the souls of all war victims in history, regardless of race, ethnic group, sovereign state, border, region, religion, religious denomination and creed."

This is such a bizarre direction for a monument and I love that it exists.
