1800 relocate ancient palace after quake
Japan witnessed a unique process of relocating a historic site, where approximately 1,800 people used traditional "Hikiyaki" techniques to move the old Hirosaki Palace, weighing 360 tons, in Aomori Prefecture after it was damaged by an earthquake. The palace, built in 1611 and reconstructed in 1810, was transported on rollers with the help of ropes, aiming to restore it to its original location without disassembly, thus preserving its architectural heritage. The operation took place over the weekend, with a movement of 1.13 meters on Saturday and 1.09 meters on Sunday, continuing manually until the end of August, after which equipment will be used to move the remaining approximately 73 meters. This traditional method is a community-led initiative to participate in safeguarding history, marking the first of its kind in a century, and demonstrating how society can support restoration efforts in a way that respects cultural heritage.
