This paper describes about one hundred and ten monumental outdoor sculptures erected in Kagoshima Prefecture from the Meiji period to the present time, and provides information and clarification about their historical background. Among features characteristic of them as a group two are pointed out here. The first is that there still remain standing in Kagoshima city three Taisho-period portrait sculptures of members of the Shimazu daimyo family. The second is that most of the outdoor sculptures in Kagoshima after World War II depict men of towering achievement in the past, who had connection with Kagoshima.
