This is the PL tower- looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. PL stands for point of liberty or something like that. It's a religious cult south of Osaka city that puts on a fantastic fireworks display every Aug. 1. They claim that it's the biggest in the world, with 120,000 fireworks or so. In Japan they tell you in magazines exactly how many fireworks they have! too funny. I've asked students about PL but no one can tell me exactly what they believe, just that they're a cult, and sound a bell every now and then. Close up this tower looks even crazier, ivory colored and with windy bits up the sides and windows in random locations, I don't know how they did it.

Do you have any pictures of this in the day time? The crazy window pattern intrigues me.
I don't now, but I want to go back sometime before I leave just to get more pictures of it, so if I do I'll post one.
