Kirk here with an update on the Janes Residence, which was severely damaged and then completely destroyed by the double punch of two strong earthquakes in 2016. Many posts about the Janes Residence have been made to to this page over the years, both before and after the quakes. If you’re interested click on the following link:

The first picture is of the actual-sized image of the building being rebuilt that is on the tarp that covers the enclosure in which the work is being done. I took this and the other images today, on site, and then reworked them a little with photo editing software to make them a bit more presentable.
The second image shows the progression from before the earthquake to after the first quake to the decimation following in the second. This and a number of reports showing construction progress are posted on a wall at the site.
Finally, the third image work on the edifice that was done in March. It’s slow work, in part because the are attempting to use materials that were salvaged from the original building to the extent possible.
I didn’t see a projected completion date but the following article from 2020 indicates that it should be done this year, in 2022: https://www.nishinippon.co.jp/item/n/578846/
