Followers who had emigrated from Kuroshima and the Izutsu settlement in the open sea later built the current full-scale cathedral together with Father Tokichi Nakata. Completed in 1918 by the labor service of believers, the dedication ceremony was held the following year. The design and construction work is T\u014dsuke T\u014dkawa, known for his church architecture. The exterior is a striking and beautiful design, including a variety of brickstacking techniques based on British stacking and black brick decoration. The bell of the tower Angelus with an octagonal dome was ordered from France. The ceiling inside the temple is a full-fledged rib vault ceiling, and the colorful second-floor stained glass is produced by German Maximiliano Bartosz over two years.
