In Takatsuki City, Osaka, a mural recently popped up depicting a vibrant Haniwa doll, a horse and a traditional home, located at the entrance of Takatsuki Center-gai.
The mural was created by Kobe-based street artist DAAS, and was commissioned by the Takatsuki Art Expo 2015. Haniwa are terra-cotta clay figures that were made for ritual use and buried with the deceased as funerary objects during the Kofun Period (third to sixth centuries AD). A large number of them were unearthed in Takatsuki, and this mural was designed to celebrate the area’s history.
