Description
This is a view of a concrete reservoir that was left unharmed in front of a three story building, which is taller than most in Japan. Possibly it is a government building. Water from the reservoir could be used to fight fires. The concrete shell of the building still stands, but the windows were not fireproof and are damaged. The interior walls, floors, and ceilings are very likely made of wood, and have been destroyed. From Basil Rice.
