The back is the same.

The antenna on top is still bent after last year's earthquake.
There is now scaffolding underneath.
Looks like they'll take the antenna down and fix it.
The work wire is stretched from the right side.

You can clearly see that the tip is curved.
I can see the wires too.

It's beautiful. You'll be overwhelmed when you see it with your own eyes.
Back when there were no cranes like we have today, the steel beams were lifted up with pulleys and assembled.
The design was done in an era when there were no calculators, so a slide rule was used.
The construction workers assembled the structure wearing tabi socks without wearing safety ropes.
The handmade feel can be seen in the steel frame.
I was impressed by how thin the steel beams at the base were in those four places. They provided such good support.
