oh good grief .. That is such a lovely building ... coming from LRD I know that feeling all too well. Hell everytime they cut down a tree I feel pain. The excuse we are given is that on our we need the space for an ever growing population, but it gets me more than a little narked when all they do is
1) put up a high rise condo which only the super rich can afford or 2) put up yet another shopping centre which we SO OBVIOUSLY need, like we do not have enough of them already ...
gah!! No such thing as the perservation of hertitage. I thought the they were better at it than us. But maybe it isn;t 'old' enough? A few decades as opposed to a few hundreds? Here you;d have no chance sadly... uhmmm yes .... sorry for the rant. I feel your pain I do.
I hope you have a good weekend my dear in spite of ... well .. everything
See, it's perfectly old enough as Japan does 'old'. Buildings in Japan burn down and are rebuilt to the original plan. (Temples do this all the time.) So this one really dates to 1924 if not earlier, because they don't say if the 1924 building was a recreation of the Hosokawa mansion. Office-theater complexes don't count as part of this 'on the same spot but not in the physically identical building' mindset.
