Contrary, there is a long-written history of wooden construction as well as records of the application of reinforced concrete on newly built constructions. In addition, it was after 1955 (Showa Year 30) when the full-scale demolition of a reinforced concrete construction was carried out.The demolition of reinforced concrete structure started with the use of chipping method in the 1950s. Although demolition of chimneys was carried out during the World war II, the demolition of reinforced concrete structure started much later than the new constructions that were built after World War II. A chipping hammer in Japanese is called, Gen-no which is a large hammer with both hands that weights from 5 to 20kg.
