Sato to celebrate the completion of the Daido Life Insurance Company New Head Office Building; Daido Life Insurance Company logo stylized inside a traditional rising sun motif, trailing ivy leaves and vines winding around the right side, shinchiku kinen "New Building Construction Commemoration," Taisho juyonen gogatsu "May, 14th Year of the Taisho Era" below // detailed architectural relief of the former Daido Life Insurance Higobashi Head Office Building in Osaka, struck at the Osaka Mint, with mint hallmark on edge reading "Japan Mint Made", XF. The majestic Neo-Gothic style Daido Life Insurance Company building was originally designed by the prominent American-born architect William Merrell Vories. The original Daido Life Insurance building was demolished in 1990. A new structure was completed in 1993 for the Daido Life Insurance Head Office on the same site and was designed by Nikken Sekkei and Ichiryusha Vories Architects (descendants of Vories's architectural lineage). When the 1925 building was dismantled, developers carefully salvaged and preserved key Neo-Gothic architectural features including decorative terracotta carvings, the original decorative entrance lintel and facade framing and vaulted stained glass dome ceiling.
