      Oh, I see. I guess Tokyo was firebombed enough that it doesn't have too many pre war buildings. Gotta go to Kyoto for that.

      More to the point, buildings are not expected to last--most buildings get torn down a few decades after being built

      Even buildings designated for preservation tend to be Ships of Theseus after a few years of routine maintenance

      I don't know about that. Certainly true for most post war constructions, but a lot of pre war stuff retains much original material.

      Probably more true for brick/stone/concrete buildings than wood ones though.

      The *vast* majority of historic architecture in Japan is wood-built and thus replaced in its entirety over a few decades

          For the sake of historical fidelity, tho, they are known to use period construction practices while maintaining them

          This is essential. My hometown has some nice Art Nouveau and I remember them ruining one of the building because of some modern shortcuts.

          Noticed that. Traditionally East Asia doesn't really build other than wood. One of the reasons firebombing was so effective I'd think.

          Also why I don't see many pre-Ming buildings in China despite the age of their civilization.
