Inspired by the noted Belgium statue Manneken Pis,urinating boy statues are current in Japan and can be found in various locations. But the miniature peeing monk in central Tokyo's Hamamatsuchō Station is a current symbol of peace and love that is changes fashion every month.
He is known as Shoubenkozou (しょうべんこう) in Japan, which roughly translates as "peeing kid/young monk." His clothes change every month, and in Japan's rainy season (June) he was dressed in a raincoat with a tiny umbrella.
He is located at the end of platforms 3 and 4,serving the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines. The plaque tells visitors he was gifted to the station by a dentist, and also that his clothes shall be changed every month by the "pee kid committee."
