With 70 members of this herd, these global roaming pieces of cow art have visited over 50 cities since 1999. Their latest visit is Tokyo’s Marunouchi district.
As part of Cow Parade 2008 the fiberglass replicas are decorated by local celebrities and let out to graze.
Shane, who took a series of 18 photos, including this one, provides some background and details at The Tokyo Traveler.

Yes, these cows have traveled globally. Probably have more stamps in their passport than the average State Dept. employee.
