Not only did wooden houses collapse, but the first floors of reinforced concrete buildings were also crushed, shopping streets were burned down, and even railway tracks collapsed, presenting the actual disaster situation at the time.
The work "The Impact of 5:46" (7 minutes): Through large-scale visuals and sound effects, it recreates the immense destructive power of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The film was created using miniature models and special photography. (Produced in 2002)
