    Remarks: 
    The sculpture was commissioned via Smith, Hinchman and Grylls Associates, Inc. architects, as a companion piece to Noguchi's Dodge Fountain, which was built in 1981 in Hart Plaza, an eight acre plaza in downtown Detroit. Noguchi also helped design the layout of the plaza. The $402,000 total cost of the sculpture was paid for by funds from the Detroit Capital Gifts Committee, which determines how financial gifts to the City of Detroit will be spent. For additional information see: Dennis Nawrocki, "Art in Detroit Public Places, Revised Edition," Detroit, MI: Wayne State University Press, 1999.
