The antidisaster office building in the northeastern Japan town of Minamisanriku is unveiled on Feb. 15, 2017, following repair work. It is still being debated if the building, at which 43 people died when it was engulfed by tsunami in March 2011, should be preserved as a symbol of the disaster. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
