Floraland had been insisting that the design of the statue is original but they suddenly began repairing its face because “the design was different from what we initially planned.” Sankei reported that the statue has disappeared by December 21st and the staff of the park replied to the mass media’s inquiry that “We don’t even know the existence of the statue.”
