In a corner of the park, a big metal face was preserved. Once it belonged to a big Buddha statue. Yet most parts of the statue were contributed to the army during WWII because metal was very precious and needed to continue the war.

The face was the only remnant. If the Buddha heard that story, he could be disagreeably surprised. Thinking such thing, the metal face seemed to show signs of frustration.
