Sakura Crematorium (佐倉火葬場) - Spectral Codex

A rare example of a Japanese colonial era crematorium. It was formerly located in an extensive cemetery that was cleared and transformed into parkland. The crematorium was spared after culture bureau workers recognized its value, but local residents have protested its continued existence.
