Saigo Takamori Statue is a famous statue of Saigo Takamori walking his dog stands in Ueno Park. Saigo Takamori (23 January 1827/28 — 24 September 1877), one of the most influential samurai in Japanese history, lived during the late Edo Period and early Meiji Era. Despite romantic legends that surround his image as 'the last of the samurai' he still may be justly regarded as such.
