Four years ago, the first studio of "Kyoto Animation" in Kyoto City was set on fire, killing 4 employees. The bereaved families have decided to erect a monument as a symbol of the incident.
The aim is to have the monument installed by July 7, 5, which is five years after the incident occurred. The monument is not expected to be open to the public, but the families hope it will be a symbol for future generations of the studio's employees. It will also be a memorial to those who died in the fire.
