Mandei Lighthouse

Mandei Lighthouse [前召行塔; まんでい-しんとう] is a lighthouse located on Adari Peninsula, in Shinkō Prefecture. It stands on a jutting cliff two miles from the nearby town of Akoru. It is the largest lighthouse on the peninsula, and the only one currently still in use. 
The original Mandei Lighthouse was the first lighthouse built in northern Kanton, and was a slightly smaller structure than its modern reincarnation, with a dimmer light and smaller lens. It was commissioned by the Shinkō Prefectural Government in 1861. However, because the lighthouse was made entirely of brick with weak foundations, it crumbled in the onslaught of the North Coastal tsunami in 1929. The structure was reconstructed with a view to being able to withstand even more severe conditions, with steel beams and solid foundations. 
Mandei Lighthouse is best known as the lighthouse featured in Wind Spirits [吹の子, 1981], a popular film about the experiences of a man living alone as a lighthouse keeper after the death of his wife and son. Mandei Lighthouse was a prominent symbol on the film's poster.
