The Tower of the Sun is a renowned structure located in Suita, Japan, originally designed by artist Tarō Okamoto for the Expo '70 World's Fair. Standing at 70 meters tall, the tower features three distinct faces on its exterior, each symbolizing different aspects of human history and the universe. The top face, known as the "Golden Mask," represents the future, while the "Face of the Sun" on the front symbolizes the present, and the "Black Sun" on the back signifies the past.
