The rear of Kuwashima Orthopaedic Clinic reveals forgotten service entrances. Overgrown foliage reclaims concrete walls. Rust stains mark the once-functional exterior. This view captures the slow decay of a vital community building.

03 THE STORY

About this print

Printed with museum-grade archival inks, preserving every intricate detail with lasting clarity.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

To the left, the remains of the rehabilitation ward are barely holding together. The walls have rotted away, exposing the skeletal frame to the elements. Beneath it, an abandoned car and truck sit motionless, as if waiting for a journey that will never come.
