The mural, measuring about 43 meters long and 5.2 meters high, was created as part of a project to pass on Oh\u2019s philosophy and legacy to future generations. Oh played a central role in building the Hawks franchise in Fukuoka as manager and later team chairman. The artwork depicts Oh alongside former and current Hawks figures including Kimiyasu Kudo, manager Hiroki Kokubo, and chief baseball officer Kenji Jojima. Jojima said he hopes the Hawks will remain deeply rooted in Fukuoka for decades to come. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.web.nhk\/newsweb\/na\/nb-5010033213\" target=\"_blank\">NHK News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ntv.co.jp\/n\/fbs\/category\/sports\/fs90c600f70c1249a4a02871fbb0e7bdf6\" target=\"_blank\">FBS News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_oh-sadaharu-hawks-wall-art_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C776&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"776\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-177673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_oh-sadaharu-hawks-wall-art_2026_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_oh-sadaharu-hawks-wall-art_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_oh-sadaharu-hawks-wall-art_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C568&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fnn_oh-sadaharu-hawks-wall-art_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C426&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: FBS News<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
