Nihonbashi Takashimaya S.C. will host the "Great Gold Exhibition," a special sales event featuring over 1,000 gold products, for six days from Wednesday, April 8th to Monday, April 13th, 2026.
## Life-sized Gold Statues of Shohei Ohtani as a Batter and Pitcher, a Dual-Wielding Display
The special exhibition will feature life-sized gold statues of MLB Los Angeles Dodgers player Shohei Ohtani: "Golden Batter Shohei Ohtani" and "Golden Pitcher Shohei Ohtani," offering a rare opportunity to see both statues together. These works were produced by SGC, a pioneer in gold products, with Ohtani's official approval, over approximately two years. The batter statue uses 1,550 sheets of gold leaf and stands about 1.9m tall (approximately 2.4m from the pedestal to the tip of the bat), the same height as Ohtani. The pitcher statue uses 1,450 sheets of gold leaf and stands about 1.7m tall. The reference prices are 50 million yen (excluding tax) each (55 million yen including tax), for a total of 100 million yen (excluding tax) for both (110 million yen including tax). These prices are inspired by Ohtani's 2024 record of "50-50" (recording 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season) and achieving over 50 home runs for two consecutive years.
