The Japanese branch of German pressure washer company Karcher created a Godzilla mural at the Iwayagawauchi Dam in Saga Prefecture. Karcher presented the mural on November 22 as part of the prefecture's "Sagaprise" tourism project. The company began planning for the mural as early as July, before it started "painting" it on November 4.

Karcher Japan's X (formerly Twitter) account noted that the mural was created by pressure washing the dam, and that natural conditions will determine how long it stays on display.

"Godzilla vs. Saga "Godzilla in Saga Dam Art Project Powered by Karcher". A giant Godzilla appears at a dam in Saga Prefecture! A magnificent piece of dam art has finally been completed on the canvas of the Iwayagawauchi Dam, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.??

The project, which began on Monday, November 4, involved cleaning the dam itself to create a magnificent Godzilla mural. It took about four months of preparation, including detailed pre-planning and a cleaning process carried out by a total of seven people, before the dam art was completed on Friday, November 22.??

The most important aspect of creating dam art is to faithfully reproduce the design on the wall of a massive dam. In order to express the finer details of Godzilla than any previous designs created overseas, attention was paid to precise point markings, line-drawing, and a delicate and dynamic washing process, making the most of the dam's characteristics to create an impressive Godzilla that looks as if it is about to move.




Oh no...At some point that dam will fail as nature points out the folly of man!

Germans and Japanese working together, should we be worried?

So much better than something you might find along some lame MLK Blvd. ;)
