| This is a model of post-earthquake reconstruction in the Kasumigaseki administrative district. The building was designed by the Building and Repairs Administrate Bureau of the Ministry of Finance and constructed by the Obayashi Corporation. It is a six-story steel-frame reinforced concrete building with scratch tiles applied to the exterior. It features a façade design with large square windows and an emphasis on the vertical line on the upper entrance hall. The year of construction is based on the text left on Munafuda (a wooden ridge plaque, March 16, 1932). |
