Villagers in the Japanese town of Chikuzen have gone to drastic measures to confront the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic by building a giant Gorilla as 'an idol to worship'

Superstitious locals in a Japanese village have constructed a giant Gorilla made of steel and straw in a desperate big to ward off the coronavirus.

Villagers in Chikuzen, Fukuoka Prefecture in the south west of Japan spent two months building the life-like statue – which has eyes which glow red in the night and stands at an impressive 23 feet tall.

The structure has been called ‘Giant Straw Scarecrow Gorilla: Proud Gorilla 2020’ and is due to stand watch over the town until the end of the month.

After being completed in December 2020, the giant statue has become something of a local attraction – pulling in crowds who gather around to inspect it; which might not help in the interests of reducing Covid-19 transmissions.



Japan Today reports that locals decided to build the structure in an attempt to ward off the pandemic.

The publication reports: “The likeness of a gorilla was chosen as a symbol of power and strength in the face of the prolonged coronavirus pandemic.”

While adding that the “ape’s lifelike hair was made from rice straw layered on top of a steel frame” and was constructed as an: “idol to worship”.

Proud Gorilla has been regarded as a new offering of hope after Japanese nationals spent the past year worshiping the legend of Amabie – with their prayers falling on deaf ears.

Amabie is an ancient Japanese ‘yokai’ – a type of legendary monster that can bring good fortune or cause chaos.

Amabie herself is a mermaid-like creature with long flowing dark hair, a beak, glowing green scales and three fin-like legs.

First encountered in the 1800s, she became popular again last year for being a deity capable of warding off plagues.

The original legend saw Amabie encountered by a government official in 1846 – with the fish-creature warning that a pandemic would ravage Japan unless her image was drawn and show to as many people as possible.



The story – and an accompanying sketch – were subsequently published in national newspapers to spread the word and desperately fulfil the requirement to repeal the prophesied disease.

With the emergence of Covid-19 as a global pandemic last year, Amabie became popular once more – with Japanese businesses and members of the public frantically sharing her image in the hopes of turning fortunes around in the fight agains the pandemic.

However, with seven of Japan’s most populous prefectures declaring a state of emergency again in recent weeks as Covid-19 cases flare once more, she has fallen out of favour and hopes are now pinned on the 7 meter high Gorilla.

All of you, join me as I sing

Covid is very scared now. It is even shaking and crying.

Well ....

Well, whatsoever you believe in shall make you whole!!

They for mold virus na

God of covid 19

lol

Yet, they will do everything possible to stop Christianity that preaches God looking for man.
They prefer to look for God which is impossible

How do this people feel worshiping this scary ugly face kingkong that look like it would chop one's head when you bend your head to worship it.

Lol!

Reminds me of the golden image a certain Nebuchadnezzar put up, but God proved via His servants Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego that the Most High is indeed Lord of all the Earth. And there's no one beside Him.

Daniel 3:28-29 (KJV)

Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.

God bless.

Human race!

I'm guessing the prayer is gonna go this way. You beat your chest three times and go:

Hail, Lord gorilla! King of all apes, protect us from Covid 19 and we will worship you and give you more bananas than you can ever finish.


I hereby call this new religion Gorillanism. It is a branch of the broader faith called Simianolatory- the worship of apes.

religion been destroying human mind since 300BC

no difference BTW them and Jesus worshippers, bcs they are both worshiping creation instead of creator.

The funniest thing is people will honorably bow down to the fake image of Jesus (yes thatsnt Jesus) on the cross,and even Mary,and then come here to abuse idol worshippers

This one is considered abnormal, but people who worship a middle aged white bearded white man, dressed in ancient robes and sitted on a throne surrounded by white people (Angels) somewhere in the clouds is completely normal.

Developed country self...

The God that you seek resides inside of you. All you need to do is look within.

You can worship whatever you want, it's your business

What an incredible story

Man made god is powerless just as the moon god

The idea of worshiping this gorilla must have originated from a black man in their midst.


Jesus is a white man, Devil is a black man.
