Statues of Liberty

Without seeing the replica of Statue of Liberty at Odaiba, Japan, I will not explore more about this famous statue.

The following are extracts from references in Wikipedia:

Standing on the Liberty Island, in New York harbour, the Statue of Liberty (French: Statue de la Liberté), or, more formally called, Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La liberté éclairant le monde), was presented to the United States by the people of France in 1886.

The copper-clad statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and was given to the United States to represent the friendship established during the American Revolution.

The statue is of a robed woman with one arm upraised holding a torch, while the other holds an inscribed tablet, and having upon the head a diadem. It was made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf (originally made of copper and later altered to hold glass panes.) It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.

The statue, also known affectionately as "Lady Liberty", has become a symbol of freedom and democracy. She welcomed arriving immigrants, who could see the statue as they arrived in the United States.

There is a version of the statue in France given by the United States in return.

The classical appearance (Roman stola, sandals, facial expression) derives from Libertas, ancient Rome's goddess of freedom from slavery, oppression, and tyranny. Her raised right foot is on the move. This symbol of Liberty and Freedom is not standing still or at attention in the harbor, it is moving forward, as her left foot tramples broken shackles at her feet, in symbolism of the United States' wish to be free from oppression and tyranny. The seven spikes on the crown epitomize the Seven Seas and seven continents. Her torch signifies enlightenment. The tablet in her hand represents knowledge and shows the date of the United States Declaration of Independence, in roman numerals, July IV, MDCCLXXVI.

Hundreds of other Statues of Liberty have been erected worldwide.

The French Statue of Liberty was erected on the river Seine in Paris, France. Given to the city in 1889, it faces southwest, downstream along the Seine.

Here comes the photo of the Statue of Liberty replica at Odaiba, overlooking the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay. I was startled when I received such an interesting photo from my brother.

Can you find all the features of the Statue of Liberty in New York from this replica in Tokyo?
