About this print
A lattice transmission tower stands on a dark shoulder of Matsushima at sunset, its lines running off the frame to either side, photographed from the deck of the ferry leaving Ikeshima. The hill beneath it has gone to black silhouette, a band of low cloud catches the last orange, and the sea in the foreground has turned steel blue with the light off it.

The series
Ikeshima
Ikeshima Coal Mine operated beneath the seabed off Nagasaki from 1959 until 29 November 2001, making it the last new coal mine to open in Japan and the last large-scale underground colliery to close. At its 1970 peak the island held 7,770 residents on a 0.86 km² rock in the Gotō Sea, housed in company-built concrete towers above a mine that reached 650 m below sea level.
