Okamoto's missing work recreated in photo

OSAKA, Japan - ''Chitei no Taiyo,'' a work by the late artist Taro Okamoto, is displayed after being recreated from a photo for an exhibition at the Expo '70 Commemorative Park in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, on Aug. 26, 2011. The work, literally meaning ''underground sun,'' was one of four works portraying a face that was part of the 1970 Osaka expo's symbolic structure ''Tower of the Sun'' and went missing afterward. The exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of Okamoto's birth is scheduled to be held from Aug. 27 through Oct. 10.
