About this print
A dim office in the No. 2 Shaft office building at Ikeshima Coal Mine, two desks in the foreground still holding a white hard hat, a cup, some papers and a few small objects left where they were put down. The venetian blind on the left window hangs buckled and half open, the right-hand window is bare, and between them a glazed door looks out over a corrugated roof to trees and a patch of sky.

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.
