The architect designed, constructed, and donated the building to the 13th fire brigade of Yamada-cho, Iwate Prefecture, which was seeking a place to gather, unite, and rest as part of its support activities in the quake-stricken area. In the future, the building will be handed down as a community exchange center where local culture and performing arts will be handed down.
