🏢 "Drill-Shaped Art" and a Green Sculpture at the Tokyo Job Center in Iidabashi

📍Tokyo Job Center (3-10-3 Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)

Just a short walk from Iidabashi Station, a large, eye-catching drill-shaped metal sculpture towers over the glass-walled atrium of the employment support facility, the Tokyo Job Center.

🌀 Features and Experiences of the Sculpture
• Though the name is unknown, this monument, comprised of spiral metal plates interlocking vertically, seems to symbolize forces such as rotation, growth, and penetration.
• The mirrored finish of the stainless steel reflects light, creating a dynamic appearance that changes depending on the time of day.
• The contrast with the surrounding giant flowerpots creates a contrast between "artificial and natural" and "stillness and movement."
• Though suspended in an indoor atrium, the sculpture evokes the feeling of "power rising from underground."

🌿 Enjoy the beauty of the structure and the greenery together
• Directly below the sculpture, large plants (including sansevieria and rubber trees) are planted so that they extend from the floor, creating a striking photo spot with the contrast between nature and metal.
• The entire building has a modern and clean feel. The extensive use of marble, glass, and aluminum creates an "urban museum" atmosphere.
