This sculpture sometimes goes by the name of 'God Of Thunder 4', which would imply that there are at least three others, but aside from 'Underground Tree', this is Nagano-born artist Shigeo Toya's only sculpture at Grizedale. A tall tree, stripped bare and marked with small carvings all the way to the top, it could be found on a path in the western edge of the forest which leads down to the High Dale Park area. Toya said of the piece:

​

"Pain accompanies anger. The Thunder-god in pain makes a wry face. Pain is transmitted to a tree in a fusion with the Thunder-god. The allegorical tree is full of death and yet beautiful. The tree that is handed down in stories. A signpost that leads to the other side of the door."

​

It became significantly easier to find when the trees in the area were felled, although on the other hand, the top of it was lopped off, halving its height.
