About Tokumitsu Taanto Atitany Trano Fidiovana ho an'ny Besinimaro

Tokumitsu Taanto dia atitany trano fidiovana ho an'ny besinimaro any Hakusan, Ishikawa, Japana. Mirefy 25 metatra toradroa ny efitrano ary 2,90 metatra ny haavon'ny valindrihana. Takelaka volamena maherin'ny 3.000 no mandrakotra ny rindrina. Ny takelaka tsirairay dia takelaka porselana toradroa mirefy 200 milimetatra manana velaran-tany misy endrika, vita amin'ny takela-bolamena Kanazawa napetraka tamin'ny tanana. Napetraka amin'ny lamosina maizina ireo takelaka, ary nalamina ny jiro tsy mivantana mba hampiseho ny toetra manjelanjelatra ananan'ny volamena. Ny famolavolana dia mampihatra asa-tanana nentim-paharazana japoney amin'ny toerana ho an'ny besinimaro maoderina.
