Summary

[edit]
Description

Hibiya Public Hall [Shisei Kaikan], in part a public facility and in part the offices of the Tokyo Institute of Municipal Research, is located on the southeastern corner of Hibiya Park. The ten-story steel-frame reinforced concrete structure is finished in terra cotta, Yokonezawa stone (quarried in Shizuoka Prefecture), and the light brown scratch tile so popular in the 1920s.

Construction was completed in 1929, a symbol of Tokyo’s rebirth after the devastating 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, and the hall is still in use today for concerts, lectures, meetings and other cultural activities. In 1960, Hibiya Public Hall gained notoriety as the site where Asanuma Inejiro, chairman of the Japan Socialist Party, was assassinated by a sword-wielding student. (Source: oldtokyo.com)
