This mini Giant Torayan is a miniature sculpture of Kenji Yanobe's gigantic robot "Giant Torayan" that looms high above the viewer .

Kenji Yanobe Giant Torayan "Ginat Torayan" is the ultimate child's weapon, as it sings, dances, breathes fire, and follows only those orders given by children. It playfully allows the child to experience the responsibilities and excitement of controlling machines.
The picture on the right is the exhibition image held in 2005 at Toyota Municipal Museum (photo by Seiji Toyonaga). You can see how huge and powerful it is. (See Giant Torayan fire breathing on Youtube )
This mini Giant Torayan does not fire but its form is made very much similar to the original Giant Torayan.

Although Kenji Yanobe's work is very visually alluring, all of his choices are pragmatically dictated and streamlined to create machines of survival; survival of the end of the world.
