Kasei Chan Monument

The Toritsu Kasei Shopping District Promotion Association commissioned cartoonist Chiba Tetsuya to create this monument in 2002 to commemorate the completion of new street lights and road paving in the shopping district. The monument was created in July 2011 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the birth of "Kasei-chan." The character is beloved by the local community and wears costumes to suit various events.
