Tora-san, Austrian Muse
September 4th, 2009
Vienna, Austria. Birthplace of Mozart, weiner schnitzel, neo-Nazis, and one of only two German-language one-hit wonders that at least I can think of (“Rock Me Amadeus,” by Falco).
Now they’re opening a picturesque park and naming it after…
TORA-SAN from the Japanese movie series Otoko wa Tsuraiyo (Tora-san, That Lovable Tramp).
Japan’s Forrest Gump, now an Austrian Hero.
Eine kleine Tora Park, anyone?
