●What is the Rubber Duck?
The “Rubber Duck” by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman is a public artwork that conveys the message that “there are no borders in this world” by using rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water around the world as bathtubs. In Japan, the “Rubber Duck” has appeared on various water surfaces, mainly in Osaka, and is loved by many people for its size and charm.

This floating duck knows that there are no borders in this world that are divided by political connotations. And the duck’s healing properties, which help to ease tensions in the world, will be gently and familiarly embraced by all generations.
